PREFACE 


Much the largest contribution to this volume has been made by Dr Coles. He 
himself edited the great bulk of the Roman and Byzantine documents, and collabor- 
ated on the rest (4063-7, introd.): in addition, he has supervised and contributed to 
the publication of the large group of Aeschines papyri. 

The theological texts (4009-11) comprise a fragment probably of the apocryphal 
Gospel of Peter, published in collaboration with Professor Dieter Luhrmann of Marburg 
University; and two liturgical texts from the everyday life of the Christian community, 
edited by Dr Kurt Treu, whose early death was a sad blow to us and to many other 
colleagues. Section II includes newly identified pieces of Euripides’ Phoenissae and 
Orestes, edited by Professor Haslam; and another handbook of Euripidean hypotheses, 
covering the Bacchae and other plays, edited by Dr H. M. Cockle. Section III consists 
of Menander: mostly fragments which provide small supplements or variant readings 
to known portions of his text, but one novelty with (probably) the opening scene of 
Leucadia (4024). Section IV contains all the papyri of Aeschines so far identified in 
the collection; the editing is mainly the work of members of the Istituto Vitelli of the 
University of Florence. Among the documents we single out those from the Arabian 
nome (a rare provenance); and, of unique interest, the long and difficult accounts 
relating to the two Oxyrhynchite mansiones on the Roman route running north and 
south along the edge of the Western desert (4087-8). 

For the indexes we are indebted to the skill and perseverance of Juliane 
Kerkhecker. The Charlesworth Group have again set the text with wonderful 
precision.

NOTE ON THE METHOD OF 
PUBLICATION AND ABBREVIATIONS 


The basis of the method is the Leiden system of punctuation, see CE 7 (1932) 
262-9. It may be summarized as follows: 


apy The letters are doubtful, either because of damage or because they are 
otherwise difficult to read 
Approximately three letters remain unread by the editor 


[apy | The letters are lost, but restored from a parallel or by conjecture 

P| Approximately three letters are lost 

ba Round brackets indicate the resolution of an abbreviation or a symbol, 
e.g. (aptaby) represents the symbol —, crp(arnydc) represents the 


abbreviation crp§ 
[apy ] The letters are deleted in the papyrus 
The letters are added above the line 
<aBy> The letters are added by the editor 
{apy} The letters are regarded as mistaken and rejected by the editor 


Heavy arabic numerals refer to papyri printed in the volumes of The 
Oxyrhynchus Papyrt. 

The abbreviations used are in the main identical with those in J. F. Oates e¢ al., 
Checklist of Editions of Greek Papyrt and Ostraca, 3rd edition (BASP Suppl. No. 4, 1985). 
It is hoped that any new ones will be self-explanatory.

4009. GosPEL oF PETER? 
62 6B.82/C(1-3)a 2.9xXg cm Second century 


A scrap from a papyrus codex. For convenience, we refer to the side on which 
the writing runs parallel with the fibres as ‘recto’, and the other as ‘verso’; there is no 
telling which precedes which. 

A column of writing held at least 21 lines, each line (to judge from the plausible 
supplements in R 5—8) had 18—21 letters: written height at least 8 cm, written width 
(reconstructed) c. 4.7 cm. Surviving lower margins of 0.8 cm; surviving right-hand 
margin 0.5 cm (R), left-hand margin 0.8 cm (V). If there was only one column to the 
page, we have a miniature codex, with a page width of (say) 7 cm. For similar books, 
see E. G. Turner, Typology of the Early Codex 22 (papyrus) and 30 (parchment). In 
that case, the original page height may have been no more than 10cm, so that 
relatively little text would be lost at the top. But it remains possible that we have here 
one of the rare examples of a two-column papyrus codex (Turner 36), so that the 
extent of text lost would be much greater. 

Paragraphing by blank line-end (R 10) and perhaps by ecthesis (V 10); punctu- 
ation by middle stop R 4?, 11, 15?, by blank space R 3, 9g, 14?, 17. Nomen sacrum 
xe V 13. The correction at V 8 seems to be by the original scribe. 

The text is written in a small round informal hand with a tendency to lean to 
the left. There are many ligatures (note especially R 11 Aeyeipor); the cursive touch 
shows also in the letter forms—looped a; » €v in one movement. Note e with the 
upper loop nearly closed, wide «, low-bellied y, v with a right side that does not touch 
the line, 7 with strongly curved right side, ¢ flattened with extended cap, wide 7, w 
in two movements. Ornament takes the form of hooks at the head and foot of uprights. 
With an informal hand, and a small sample, dating presents particular problems. For 
datable parallels see: Schubart, Pal. Abb. 81 (PLond I p. 132 ff., horoscopes later 
than the death of Titus); Norsa, Scritt. Doc. XVc (Edict of Petronius Mamertinus 
AD 133/7); Schubart, PGB 22B (135?) and 24 (148). For similar scripts in literary 
texts see PGB 28; 31 (Theaetetus Commentary); Norsa, Scritt. Lett. gD (Menander, 
Theophoroumene); Roberts, GLH 13b (BM Hyperides)—all normally assigned to the 
second century. These parallels suggest, at least, that 4009 might be dated to the 
second century rather than to the third. 

The nomen sacrum identifies this as a Christian text; and R 4 ff. preserve key-words 
of four logia of Jesus. In fact, R can be reconstructed in detail from synoptic and non- 
synoptic parallels. We have not found any similar basis for reconstructing V. 

We have two clues to the precise provenance. (i) R 11 suggests a first person 
narrative. (ii) R 9 ff., the logion of the wolves and the lambs, shows an extended text 


2 THEOLOGICAL TEXTS 


that recalls the version quoted (from an apocryphal gospel) in 2Clem. 5.2—4. There 
we have a third person narrative, which quotes a dialogue between Jesus and Peter. 
If it is again Peter who speaks in our text, but as narrator himself, we could assign 
4009 to the Gospel of Peter; the Akhmim fragment, PCair 10759 (Van Haelst 598), 
shows that this text took the form of a first person narrative (xiv 60). Another 
fragment from Oxyrhynchus, XLI 2949 (Van Haelst 592), has been plausibly 
attributed to the same gospel (Luhrmann, <NTW 72 (1981) 216-26, accepted by 
C. H. Roberts & T. C. Skeat, Birth of the Codex (1983) 44); it is not part of the same 
manuscript. For further discussion of the place of 4009 within the Gospel, see 
Luhrmann, ‘POx 400g: Ein neues Fragment des Petrusevangeliums’, forthcoming in 
Novum Testamentum 35 (1993).

‘Recto’ 

Line-ends are visible in g-15, and can be reconstructed in 6 (where the rules of syllable-division 
exclude ¢poviu|[oc); the line-length can be estimated from the plausible and consistent supplements in 5—8. 

4 ff. offer key-words of four logza: 

(i) 4 Bepicudc cf. Matt. 9.37—8/Luke 10.2. 

(ii) 5-7 cf. Matt. 10.16b (quoted, in the singular, by Ignatius, Epzst. ad Polycarp. 2.2), where the 
serpents come before the doves; IV 655 ii b 19-23 (Van Haelst 595) (=Gospel of Thomas 39.). 

(iii) 7 f. Matt 10.16a/Luke 10.3; cf. 2Clem. 5.2 (quoted below, 9-15 note). 

(iv) 11 ff. 2Clem. 5.4; cf. Matt. 10.28/Luke 12.4 f. 

Thus Luke juxtaposes (i) and (ili); Matthew (11) and (iii) in reverse order. 

To anticipate the following discussion, we suggest a reconstruction of 4 ff. on these lines:

(These supplements give an approximately even left-hand margin, on the assumption that, as often, that 
margin sloped leftwards as it descended the column. It is possible that new sentences, or sections, were 
indicated by ecthesis, cf. V 10.) 

3-4 Ifthe supplements suggested for 5 ff. are correct, Gepicudc must end its clause, for there is no space 
to continue (we therefore take the final trace in 4, a dot on projecting fibres, as a middle stop). That clause 
may begin at 3 xa, where a clear blank (punctuation) precedes. If this is heavy punctuation, the clause 
was very short. At the end of 3, we see a long descender suggesting « or ¢ or possibly p (not normally so 
long). Against v, the further ink visible to the top right (unless we could imagine, say, ec in ligature, as 
usual, with the cap of e projecting to the right); against ¢, the position at the line-end. In any case, the 
text cannot be identical with Matt. 9.37—8/Luke 10.2. 

5-7 —avoc in 5 shows that this injunction was in the singular (addressed to the narrator), and we have 
restored it accordingly (Se rather than ovv to suit the spacing). In axe]pacoc, the trace suits p well enough; 
but we cannot explain the heavy dot, most suggesting a middle stop, which precedes ac. 

7-8 The number reverts to the plural: Peter speaks for the disciples. 

g-15 The reconstruction is based on the version preserved in 2 Clem. 5.2—4 Aéyer yap 6 Kupioc: EcecBe

the extra-canonical tradition, which the author of the letter has taken over. It is true that the /ogia in 5.2 
and 5.4 have parallels in the rest of the tradition; but 4009 now represents the prime parallel for the text 
as a whole. 

gf. As in 2Clem. 5.3, éay od(v) introduces an objection to Jesus’ words. The clause ends with Jwev 
(10), ie a form of the first person plural: we could supply crapay@]a@pev, after 2Clem. 5.3 (dva— looks too 
long). The first part of 9 should mark the change of speaker: e.g. efov mpoc av |rov. 

11-14 ] Aéyex wou introduces a new speech; supply e.g. 6 6€ doxpGeic]. Thus the first-person narrator 
is addressed, as already in 5~—7; it follows that it is the same narrator who raises the objection in 9; therefore 
the narrator is Peter, as in 2Clem. 5.3. The other speaker must be Jesus, although his name does not survive 
in what remains of the text. This version is not identical with that in 2Clem. 5.4, but the general run can 
be restored with reasonable certainty: here as there Jesus dwells on the relations of lambs and wolves, but 
in a direct statement instead of in an imperative clause. 

12 cmapa |€avrec continues the reconstruction proposed for 10. There is a palaeographic doubt: one 
might have expected to see the tail of a] showing on the preserved papyrus to bottom left of €. 

13-14 avtw suits the trace and the space; but avo too has something in its favour (if w is right, we 
might expect to see a trace of its first loop on the narrow strip of fibres to the left). wocncar suits the traces 
well; after it, a short gap before 61; there is no room for another word, we therefore take it as a punctu- 
ation-blank. 

14-19 Few letters survive, but a plausible reconstruction is possible on the basis of 2Clem. 5.4b+c¢ 
and its variants in early Christian literature (cf. Matt. 10.28/Luke 12.4—5; Ps-Clem., hom. 17.4; Justin, apol. 
I 19; Hermas, mand. XII 6.3; Irenaeus, haer. III 18.5; Clem. Alex., excerpta ex Theod. 14.3 and 51.3). 

15 0 wet, the next trace can be taken as a middle stop; [Jy fills the gap. 

19 The traces are much damaged, but ]vwyr[ suits well. 

20 f. We expect a continuation corresponding to 2Clem. 5.4c or its parallels. But we have found no 
plausible reconstruction. 


‘Verso’ 
We have found no parallel from which to reconstruct this side. That its content has something in 
common with the Recto is suggested by the similarity of its ‘synoptic’ vocabulary, and by recognisable 


4009. GOSPEL OF PETER? 5 


hints of dialogue structure. The precise sequence remains unclear. We may assume that in 5—6 Jesus is 
speaking. In 13 Jesus is addressed: we may guess from the Recto that the speaker is the first person narrator, 
Peter. But it is difficult to be sure where the speaker changes (9-102), and whether it changes again after 13. 

2 |Pey[ possible. 

4 E.g. cd d¢: new clause. But there is a patch of damage after the apparent sigma, so that o (e.g. ovdé) 
may not be excluded. : 

5 mapecx—. Perhaps a first person singular (of Jesus), then r@ mpoceA]|@dvre pfou. A reconstruction

8 ort. If age: is to be read, one thinks of a part of ddim, cf. 13. The next letter was overwritten by 
way of correction; given the weight of ink, it seems likely that a was the final version, written over a 
rounded letter that could be c, or perhaps (since it is rather small) o. If we accept a, ad(e)ia[cw is a 
possibility; if we accept 0 or ¢, af(e)io[uev, ab (e)lo[ucw etc., ddete or ddeic (or an itacistic spelling of adjc)? 
This assumes that the suprascript ¢ is an addition to, not a replacement of, « (i.e. dec). 

If this verb is recognised, one could think of dua[préac, dwa[prrjarta in the next line; before that, if A 
is rightly read, wa ]|Aau, cf. 2Peter 1.9? But e.g. év Padc]|Aala pal[Oyr77c is equally possible. 

10 avr@ projects into the left-hand margin. Presumably the ecthesis marks a new section, or a new 
speech. Since adr@ itself cannot begin a clause, the break must come in the line before.

13 Apparently ddeic or ddeic, cf 8; then «(vpcje, an address to Jesus (probably by Peter, unless it 
belongs to quoted direct speech). 11~13 might be combined in some such sense as ‘Lord, do you remit sins 
in the name of God?’; but clearly other meanings of ddvévar (‘allow’, ‘let go’) are available.

4010. Pater with INTRODUCTORY PRAYER 
20 3B.36/H(1—-3)a 11.5 X15 cm Fourth century 


This prayer has been copied in a handsome hand, with ample margins (to the 
left and below) of c. 3 cm. The writing runs with the fibres; the black is blank. Since 
the text ends, or could end, with the last line, we are probably dealing with a single 
column on an individual sheet, rather than with the beginning or continuation ofa roll. 

The script is a version of the Severe Style, written upright with a thickish pen 
and some attempt at differential shading, to be assigned to the fourth century (compare 
Turner, GMAW 49 and 70; Cavallo & Maehler, Greek Bookhands of the Early Byzantine 
Period 12a—b). No lectional signs, except for the suprascript stroke in nomina sacra. 
There is some tendency to separate words; and short blanks were used to separate 
clauses (12 etc.). The scribe, though a competent penman, was careless enough to 
omit a clause in 13, and to duplicate one in 19. 

The Pater Noster (11 ff.) is introduced by a preliminary prayer, see e.g. Liturgy of 
St Mark pp. 135-6 Brightman. For other examples of the Pater circulating separately 
on papyrus, parchment and other materials see van Haelst nos. 345-9 and PKoln IV 
171. Many of these have been thought to be amulets; the physical size of 4010 seems 
to make that unlikely (there are no clear signs of folding).

4011. Hymn (Psalm 75, intercalated) 

22 3B.16/F(3—-4)a 15.5 X 13.5 cm Sixth century 

On one side of this piece, written across the fibres, stands the upper part of a 
memorandum, beginning bropvynctix(dv) Ta evAaB(ectatw)|Xpi[cto|dwpw dvax(dvw) 
PoiPaypwv|BonP(oc) [],, (perhaps y[a]ip(ew)?) (vac.)|Karak&ia[c]n 7 cy edAaBra

On the other side, written parallel with the fibres, stands a Christian hymn-text. 
To the left is a heavy sheet join, overlapped by the line-beginnings, with fibres running 
at right angles to the rest: this is the joint between the protokollon and the roll (Turner, 
The Terms Recto & Verso 20); the papyrus seems to have been cut or broken off down 
the left edge of the overlap. The text, punctuated only by section marks in the form 
|_, represents a cento. The two complete sections, lines 1-9, derive from Psalm 75, 
with interpolations both from LXX and from NT. 

The memorandum was copied in a sizable and handsome cursive script, the hymn 
in a smaller and more rapid cursive with many phonetic misspellings. Both texts can 
be assigned to the sixth century.

In volume LIII were published such manuscripts of Euripides’ extant later 
plays—those constituting vol. iii of the OCT—as had at that time been identified 
(3712-19). The texts presented here are a supplement to that group. Again thanks 
are due to Dr James Diggle for additions and corrections. 


4012. Euripipes, Phoenissae 430-7, 461-7 
95/69(a) 4.2X 4.2 cm Fifth century 


A scrap of a parchment codex, written in a medium-sized sloping hand of the 
type illustrated by G. Cavallo and H. Maehler, Greek Bookhands of the early Byzantine 
Period, nos. 15a and 15b and assignable to the fifth century. The contrast between 
thick and thin strokes is pronounced but not extreme. a is sharp, the midstroke of « 
descends and is kept short, o tends not to attain its full oval height and shape, 7 has 
dots at either end of the thin top-bar. Much if not all of the lectional apparatus, which 
includes extensive accentuation, appears to be by a second hand. On the rather unsafe 
assumption that between 437 and 462 there was no discrepancy of line-count between 
the papyrus and the medievally transmitted text, the depth of the written area may 
be calculated as c. 18 cm, occupied by c. 30 lines. 

Two notable points of textual interest: a nearly new reading in 434, and substan- 
ual discrepancy at 436 f.

95/68(b) 3.0 X 5.0 cm First century BC/ 
first century AD 


A scrap written in a fair-sized round and upright serifed hand which I would 
date early in the first century or towards the end of the previous one; comparable 
hands are those of P. Vindob. G 19996 a and b (MPER n.s. 1), Pap. du Fayoum 1 
(Bull. Soc. Alex. n.s. 3, pl. ix), P. Berol. 9775 (Schubart, Pap. gr. Berol. 11b). It comes 
from the same manuscript as P. Koln VI 252 (Or. 134—42: II* Diggle, 409.1 Mertens- 
Pack), to judge from the plate in P. Koln III (Taf. [Vc). The back is blank. 

Orestes papyri are listed by James Diggle, The Textual Tradition of Euripides’ Orestes 
(Oxford 1991), 115 f, and in the 3rd edition of Roger A. Pack’s The Greek and Latin 
Literary Texts from Greco-Roman Egypt, revised by Paul Mertens (whom I thank for a

Gronewald), but I doubt it: we do not know the extent of the papyrus’ textual divergency.

4014. EuripipEs, Orestes g86—1002 
104/23(a) 4.3 X 16.0 cm Second century 


A fragment written in a medium-sized round and upright hand of the same type 
as XIX 2224+ XLIV 3152 and IV 664+ L 3544, assignable probably to the latter 
half of the second century. Back blank. The lower margin, if 17 is the last line of the 
column, as seems likely, was 4.5 cm. A scribal error in line 8 has been crudely corrected. 

The papyrus is without at least some of the surface error of the later witnesses (it 
presents Porson’s dAdov in v. 1001), but does little to resolve the textual uncertainties 
of the passage, though it may have done more if there were more of it. As it is, textual 
reconstruction is unusually problematic. 

There is slight textual overlap with 4015.

No reconstruction is offered, for it has proved unexpectedly difficult to find supplements of consistently 
compatible length with one another. One can only assume there were not differing degrees of indentation, 
but to assume otherwise helps little. It may be that some of the lacunae conceal more textual discrepancy 
than is displayed among the medieval manuscripts. I number the lines 1-17 for convenience of reference. 


I ds €rexev €rexe yevérlopas seems too long a supplement. Perhaps without erexev; that would be 
compatible for length with 4, the next line whose text is anything like assured, though perhaps a little on 
the short side. For the medieval manuscripts Dr Diggle reports: érexev €rexe(v) plerique: érexe 
LRRwZmZuTp: érexev AdZbZd. 

1-2 After yevéropas the paradosis is éuébev déuwr, of Kkateidov aras, the main manuscripts dividing 
after déuwv, MnSZ after éuébev (Diggle, Textual Tradition, 149). In the papyrus 2|douwv o Kare].d[o]v 
(v. sim., €.g. dofovs av) would seem to suit the space; |ovas kat. too short. 

3 Going by 4, I would say zoravov (Porson) pev du]wyya has the edge for length on the transmitted 
To mTavov 4. 6., but there can be nothing like certainty. 

4 I am presuming reOpirmoBapolv, as transmitted (—wv. MS). 

5 medoy ote me]Aayeor seems a bit short: so perhaps omore (reported by Diggle for MnS and

V*Aa™An'*L?) or o7’em. Both 4014 and 4015 have —eo., lending no support to Diggle’s sympathy for 
—eoa., given by MBO of the vetustiores. 

5-6 It is not clear whether or not ze]Aayeor ends its line (as in 4015: most codd. continue it to &e|: 
Diggle, Textual Tradition 138). Close inspection reveals that the surface is not quite blank, and abrasion 
hereabouts is severe. On the other hand, |d:eduppevoe xp |tAov would seem to be better suited to the space 
in 6 than would |é.¢—. The remains of 6 are rubbed and not readily identified, but ¢ is recognizable. 

7 dixwyr es oda tlovrov. 

8 The correction of the slip is entered in a large thick hand. Before ]poc, Aevkoxupocw (or —acw) 
may be a bit long: perhaps —c (which Dr Diggle reports for An). 

9 movtiwy caA|wv seems on the short side, but perhaps not intolerably so. Diggle reports that division 
after yepaoriais is almost universal, but that the only manuscripts which isolate wovriwy odAwy are 
MBVACKRITT>p, most of the others combining it with what goes before or after. 

10 Low (or Adow or sim.) appatevoas is the paradosis (4puardoas At [~At?]), but the traces on the 
papyrus are anomalous, hardly Jucac. v would be acceptable (only letter-top traces remain), but what 
follows cannot be read as c, and does not seem to be any regularly formed letter. 

11-13 ofev doporce Toc] eworc |[NAP apa modAvcrovo]|c is unproblematic, but then Aoyevpa troysviorce] 
jracadoc seems rather long. 

14 To xpucouaddov (or —padov) alpvoc. 

14-15 The mid-stroke of the final € is extended. The papyrus evidently divided ozore|yevero, as most 
codd., metrically untenable. For 15 yevero (or eyeveto) tepac] oAoov is too short, and it may be that the 
papyrus had oAoov doubled, weakly attested among the medieval mss (MnPrRRwS, a homogeneous group: 
Diggle, Textual Tradition 36), though this looks rather on the long side. 

16 There is no knowing what precise forms the papyrus had, but the longer forms (the transmitted 
Arpéws rather than Arpéos, Dindorf’s im7oBwra rather than —Bd7a or —Badra) seem best for length. 

17 ofev epic to Te mTEp|wrov aAdiov. In the supplemented part I cannot exclude any of the variants.

is the same except insofar that at 990 the best attested division is the metrically difficult dre | Sidpevae (see 
Diggle, Textual Tradition 138 for details of the manuscripts’ colometries); the papyrus’ division between the

4016. EvurrprpEs, Orestes 1233-52 
104/162(a) 6.3 X 10.2 cm Second century 


A badly damaged and abraded fragment of a single column of a de luxe manu- 
script, written in an early ‘Biblical Uncial’ type of hand comparable with II 224 and 
P. Lit. Lond. 78 (plates 6 and 14 in G. Cavallo, Ricerche sulla Maiuscola Biblica) and 
assignable to the latter part of the second century, though I would not care to rule 
out the first half of the third. Some accents are in evidence, and a breathing (diacritical: 
1244 efc), all I think by the first hand. Elision is apparently signalled where effected, 
but scriptio plena is preferred in cases of potential formal ambiguity (1236 azéAuca, 
1241 dxovrilouce). In cases of antilabe the lines are divided. Paragraphi and speaker 
identifications do not survive. On the back are much damaged remains of apparently 
documentary line-ends. 

The suspected v. 1245 is present. A recent conjecture in v. 1250 is confirmed. In 
1246 ff. there is some textual overlap with XI 1370 fr. 9. 

In the transcript I have effected identification of letters only where what remains 
seems sufficiently indicative to warrant it, though in some cases identification could 
not be arrived at without the aid of the known text; in contexts where the traces are 
wholly indeterminate dots alone are given.

1236 The initial traces are so scant as to be unusable. x is hardly suggested before a, but if kav was 
written (for the scriptio plena cf. aeAuca o[xv—) I cannot verify it. What preceded is still less recoverable.

pi if not of the alpha. 

1237a Ifthe surface had not suffered such damage the end of cou tatep apnywy should be in view, but 
now there are no clearly visible traces. 

1237b The assignment of such vestiges of ink as remain is quite uncertain, but there is nothing to

Taca op[ov. 

1245 The letters are sparsely represented but the reading is in little real doubt. 

1246 The surface is mostly blank, and the few scattered specks give no basis for decision between pirat 
(codd.) and ¢iAvac (Hermann). Despite 1370’s aberrant layout we would expect the lyrics to be uniformly 
indented with respect to the trimeters regardless of speaker, and the evidence is consistent with this. 

1247/8 I see no certain traces of ink before ¢. ta mpwra Kara fits the space well enough before reAacyov 
(I am using the next line for a fix on the line-beginning, see on 1250) but slightly shorter supplements (e.g. 
Hartung’s zpwr’ ava) are not out of the question. 

1250 On the assumption that the previous line began twa Opoerc and that this line was ranged with 
it, the space will nicely accommodate er: cou 7o]8 (or ta]8), as transcribed. Division at this point is well 
attested among the medieval manuscripts, see Diggle, Textual Tradition 139. I expect rod’ ev was written 
with apostrophe, now gone; rod]e ev is perhaps not quite excluded, but ]é rather than Je better suits the 
base-line trace. 

davaiday accords with Diggle’s conjecture: Javaida@v codd. The upper part of the letter remains, defin- 
itely not w. 

1251, 1252 No reliance can be put on the supplements with regard to elision and scriptio plena.

4017. Hyprorueses ro Euripipes’ Bacchae AND OTHER PLAys 
88 X5V Wi 2527 ~ jem Second century 


Twenty-seven papyrus fragments (of which only three contain more than six lines 
of text) containing parts of hypotheses to four or more plays of Euripides. They are 
written on the back of quotations from the /liad and Odyssey written out as prose. The 
identification of these helped in making nine joins. The hand is a rather ungainly, 
sometimes backward sloping, semi-cursive of a type typical for hypotheses of this kind. 
It is similar to XLII 3013 (hypothesis to a Yereus) and LII 3653 (hypotheses to 
Sophocles’ Nauplios Katapleon and Niobe) and may be dated to the second half of the 
second century, cf. C. H. Roberts, Greek Literary Hands, pl. 14a and in particular 17a= 


16 EURIPIDES 


VI 853. There are no punctuation or lectional signs but the scribe has sometimes 
indicated word breaks by a wider space between letters. There are c. 27-30 letters 
per line, judging from fr. 2 11 4, which can be firmly supplemented. 

The present text follows the usual pattern and layout for papyrus hypotheses (see 
the introduction to 3653). It has previously been referred to in Pap. Congr. 1X (Oslo, 
1958), 7. 

The identifiable parts are fr. 1, part of a hypothesis to Eur. Andromache, fr. 211 3 ff., 
which contains the first part of a hypothesis to the Bacchae, and fr. 4, almost certainly 
from a Bellerophon hypothesis. Above and before fr. 2 ii 3 is part of another hypothesis, 
which, given that such texts are ordered alphabetically only to the first letter of the 
title, will have been of'a play in A or B. Fr. 5 has the beginning of a fifth but unknown 
hypothesis. Fr. 2 contains the right-hand ends of nine lines from the lower part of a 
column, followed by lines of a second column surviving for the greater part of its 
width. Since fr. 2 11 1 1s on the top edge of the top margin of the text on the front, it 
is probably the first line of its column. 

The text of the Bacchae hypothesis is close to that of the hypothesis preserved in 
the Codex Palatinus (P), but like other papyrus hypotheses, where the medieval text 
survives and can be compared, has many minor discrepancies. 

I am greatly indebted to Dr W. Luppe (Halle) for several helpful suggestions 
and ideas, and also to Dr J. Diggle, especially for some re-readings of P.

Identified by Luppe from the names in ll. 6 and 8 as part of a Bellerophon hypothesis. This would fit 
the A—B sequence of plays represented in these fragments; a fragment of a Stheneboia, another Euripidean 
play dealing with the same theme, is less likely among these fragments. Parts of a Bellerophon also survive 
in LIT 3651 (see introd. there), but there is apparently no overlap in the texts.

is fine and papery. The main hand used an ink which has now turned dark brown; 
in places it has penetrated right through the parchment, or even eaten it into holes. 
A second hand (blacker ink) added the numeration on the recto, a third (thin pen, 
ink that is now pale brown) added the lectional signs, which include grave accent, 
rough and smooth breathing, elision mark and diastole (558). The script is small 
(1.5 mm high), upright and foursquare, with heavy shading and occasional ornament 
(blob-finials on the upper strokes of « and y; elegant sloping finials on the foot of p 
and the apex of a). It has some likeness to the Biblical Uncial in its later phases (note 
« with the branches separated from the trunk); but some letter forms (looped a, uw 
with rounded bow), and infringements of bilinearity (p breaks the lower line, as often; 
but o floats above it), are alien to the classic form. A closely comparable hand is that 
of III 411 (GMAW 71), which Cavallo assigns to the beginning of the fifth century 
(Ricerche sulla maiuscola biblica 1 73). 

The recto contained Dyskolos lines 529 to 556. That makes a written height of 
c.14cm, and a page height of c. 20cm; the written width can be estimated at 
11-12 cm, and the page width at 15-17 cm. This sort of format has parallels enough: 
see E. G. Turner, Typology of the Early Codex 28.

The recto carries the numeral ‘27’, set off by curlicues, at the top right. This might be a page number 
(nothing similar survives on the verso, but if the numbers were consistently to the right of the page, it 
would be lost there), or a quire signature. The earlier part of this play, 528 lines, would have taken up 
some 19 pages; if then ‘27° refers to the page, and assuming that the pages were numbered consecutively 
from the beginning of the codex, Dyskolos must have begun on page 8. But the remaining seven pages 
would be too little for another play, and too much for prefatory matter. That makes it more likely that 
‘27° identifies the quire; see on this Turner, Typology 77.

clear; before that, v preceded by an upright on the edge, allowing ]yv (the apparent vertical bisecting nu 
is the stem of rho on the other side; the dots above are probably accidental, not deleting). The indirect 
interrogative suits the grammar; but it seems a pity to lose the liveliness of tv.

4019. MeNnanDER, Dyskolos 740-50 
118/54(f) 6 xX 12.5 cm Third century 


On one side, parallel with the fibres, remains of cursive. On the other, across the 
fibres, line-beginnings from the foot of a column, intercolumnium of at least 3 cm to 
the left; the text is easily identified as from Dyskolos. The hand is a rapid informal 
degeneration of Severe Style; no lectional signs are visible, not even paragraphoi. The 
nota personae in 748 is, or may be, by the main hand. 

It might be guessed that a badly written copy on the verso, with wide margin 
preceding, might be just an extract from the play copied for practice. But the presence 


26 MENANDER 


of a character name goes against that. For other complete plays in verso copies, see 
LIX 3968 introduction. 

The only other source for these lines is B, in which a tear has removed the first 
few letters of 740-45. In almost all cases 4019 confirms the supplements commonly 
printed; but not, seemingly, in 740.

4020. MENANDER, EPITREPONTES: Hypothesis a7 
4020. Menanpver, Epitrepontes: Hypothesis 


71/3(b) 4.7 X 11.5 cm Second century 


On the back of this scrap, in a coarse hand, are line-ends from an account in 
drachmae. On the front (written parallel with the fibres), 7cm from the top, begins 
a text in a small, neat hand, rather featureless except for occasional serifs, to be 
assigned to the second century. Above stand five beginnings in a larger script; the first 
letter of 1, and all the letters of 3—5, written with a thick pen, or perhaps rather 
overwritten (note the thin final nu in 5), to give a heavy blotched effect. Since 2 reads 
emitpe[, and 3-5 contain Menander fr. 600.1 Kock, which is normally assigned to the 
opening scene of Epitrepontes (fr. 1S), and 6 ff. plainly refer to the content of the same 
play, we must be dealing with an hypothesis preceded by an ornamental heading. I 
have found no parallel to this lay-out (on the detail, see 1 ff. note). 1V 663, hypothesis 
to Cratinus’ Dionysalexandros, is superficially similar; but there it seems that the calli- 
graphic ‘heading’ represents the title of the play itself, around which the hypothesis 
text was later added (see E. W. Handley, B/CS 29 (1982) 114 and pl. 7). 

There is no means of telling whether our papyrus belongs to a copy of the play, 
or to a collection of hypotheses, or represents (given the ineptness of the ornamental 
script; note also the enlarged initial in 2, documentary style) a short copying exercise. 
Dr Coles wondered whether the heading might be (at least in part) the work of the 
same hand as wrote the account. 

The only well-preserved Menander hypotheses, X 1235 (Koerte I pp. 146-50), 
follow a pattern which we could reconstruct as (a) title (b) &v (or the like) dpyy 
(c) first line (d) didascalic comment (e) 7 8 tadBecic (f) plot summary (g) critical 
judgment. Of the other scraps, XX XI 2534 (CGFPR 202+ 111) contains the end of 
one hypothesis, with (f/f) and (g), and the beginning of another, with (a), probably 
(b) (restored in lacuna), (c) and probably (d) (ézro.76[ does not seem to suit a plot 
summary, though what follows might; see the discussion in CQ 59 (1965) 56 f.); PIFAO 
337 (CGFPR 203 + 119) has the end of (g) and a beginning with (a), (b) and (c). 4020 
follows an irregular pattern: (a), then (c), in the heading; (g) in the main text. But 
the form of (g), which discusses the characters of the play by function, not by name, 
has parallels in 1235 95 ff. and CGFPR 203. 

I am much indebted to Adam Beresford and Mark Pobjoy for detailed and 
illuminating discussion of the text.

7 ye., lower part of upright, narrow band of stripped fibres above and continuing to the nght nals 
probably 7, the left-hand extension of the cross-bar shortened by damage; possibly y, but no certain example 
of this letter has the cross-bar projecting to the left of the upright 12 _[, upright with high cross-

1 ff. In 3-4, the quotation fixes the line-lengths; to judge from a traced reconstruction, 4 must have 
projected to the right of 3 by nearly two letters. If 2 contains the title em:tpe[zovtec, that line projected by 
nearly four letters beyond 3: i.e. the scribe could have made equal lines by writing oc at the end of 3 
instead of the head of 4. I do not know how to account for these irregularities, except as ineptness or if 2 
was abbreviated. One explanation would be this: 2 contained the full formula expected from other hypo- 
theses, emitpe[movtec wv apxyn, and what followed this long line was set out in two narrow parallel columns. 
But this seems otherwise most implausible. Why chop up the first verse in this way? What occupied the 
second column? Even if it projected downwards into the blank that divides heading from text, there would 
hardly be space for a list of characters, perhaps not even for a didascalic notice. (The elaborate arrangement 
of PAnt I 15, see CGFPR 240, is different.) I conclude that dv apy was omitted. 

1 After «, perhaps 7, perhaps cr; then perhaps the foot of an upright just below line-level. The writing 
is substantially larger than in 2; and if that is to be reconstructed as the title, I do not see what to do with 
this. Possibilities: (1) the title copied twice—but then line 1 would have projected substantially to the right 
of line 2; (2) a number, see e.g. 1235 106 f. and CGFPR 111—but I see no ordinal that would fit; (3) an 
alternative title (such as existed for other plays, Gomme & Sandbach p. 130)—but I can think of nothing 
more plausible than Ez.[tpo7 7], which would at least make a line of the same length as 2. 

3-5 Epitr. fr. 1, thus confirmed as the first line of the play. The small blank at the end of 4 suggests 
that the final Ovjcuwe was omitted (too long to be concluded in this line alone). 

5-6 A blank of nearly 2 cm. There is no trace of the formula 7) 8’ d76é8ecuc, which in a typical hypothesis 
introduces the plot-summary; even if it had been centred above a double column, the beginning should 
show. But in any case our text omits (or postpones) the plot-summary. 

6 ff. 1235 96 ff. reads ro de b[paua ra@v]|a[pictwy: Ex]er dé mp[ecBUTHY] |ed[dpynro]v «rA—the characters 
listed by function, not by name, asyndetically, with one or two adjectives to describe their personality. So 
here in g~12, but with adverbs (so that one or more participles must be supplied). 

6-7 Two possibilities. (i) write t@v a[picrwv, and end the sentence there. (ii) Write tay a[AAwy 
(...) |epuyéyovev. 

(i) 1s the formula that Wilamowitz restored at 1235 96 f. (cf. CGFPR 202.5). He will have had in mind 
the thumbnail verdicts known from various medieval hypotheses to plays of Sophocles, Euripides and 
Aristophanes (listed by Achelis, Philol. 27 (1914-6) 132 f., and summarised in P. T. Stevens’ edition of 
Euripides, Andromache (1971) p. 27). All follow the pattern 76 (...) dpaua trav ..., without verb. dpictwr is 
not actually attested, but suits the style (and the spacing in 1235). 


4020. MENANDER, EPITREPONTES: Hypothesis 29 


Since the formula suits the genre, we should adopt it. In that case repuyéyover, ‘it is superior’, belongs 
to a new clause; since this clause should explain the verdict, yd[p makes a tempting reading (the trace suits 
y, or perhaps 7). In that case, a[pécrwy ends its line, and that line was no longer than 4. 


We have therefore to assume that the text, like the heading, was set out in a fairly narrow column. 
For example: 


(3 \ /

Thus the characters come in contrasted pairs, the title characters first; the fragment breaks off before we 
reach Charisios. But there remains a difficulty about the line-lengths. If we take 4 and 6 as standard, 9 
and 13 would project two letters to the right, and 8 and 10 more. 8 is the crux: unless I have misunderstood 
the construction, we need both a word to govern the following accusatives, and a noun to go with 6évo, 
and I| do not see how to do with less space. It is true that, if we take 2 emitpe[movtec as the norm, even 8 
would just about conform. But the result will still be a notably irregular right-hand margin. You may 
account for that by the scribe’s evident desire not to divide words over the line-end. But these irregularities 
are not cheering. The notes which follow assume the short line. But 8 may be a warning that all the lines 
were longer; even if 7 was self-contained, it could be restored at greater length (say, ra@v a[yav émuterevy- 
pevwr, cf. Arg. A4 to Aristoph., Pax, p. 3.27 Holwerda, etc.). 

g-1o Syriskos and Daos. The suggested restoration leaves room for doubt. (i) g comes out a little 
longer than 6. (11) In its only attested use, DH 7.50, aicyvvouévwe is linked as a synonym with cwdpdvwe. 
But here we expect, if not the direct contrast which Smikrines’ verdict might justify, at least some differenti- 
ation. On the other hand, there seems no philological reason why, in the right context, the word should 
not mean ‘shamefully’. 

11-12 Pamphile and Habrotonon. It is a question whether the adverbs refer (i) to their conduct, or 
(ii) to Charisios’ conduct towards them. If we fill the end of 10 with a participle, we have no room for 
veaviay or the like; and in any case there is no room for veaviav tHv prev, which looks like the minimum 
requirement. | therefore prefer (i). What should the participle be? I had thought of épa@cav; Professor Kassel 
suggests Aێyoucav, because 780c shows itself above all in speech. 

12 adeAdc: ‘frankly’ (Epitr. 432)? or, if there is a contrast with 11, more ‘openly’ than befits a slave 
(Theogn. 1212)? 

13 Smikrines. We expect his entry to begin with the noun designating him. This must come in 12. 
That leaves no room for a separate participle (say, 7[paccoucav) to go with ddedac. y[€povta seems likely, 
although the trace might equally suit 7[. I propose y[€povra ... Aoyscu[ov éxovra or the like (Adyicu[a 
sroowvta Kassel) because (i) y[épovroc ... Aoyecu[dv would spoil the run of personal accusatives; (11) y[épovra 
... Aoyicu[ Ge sounds forced; (iii) éyovra or the like would continue the string of participles. 

14 Onesimos. dcx is likely, then faint traces. One could think of d/cas[ov, to agree with the preceding 
noun, or with Aoy:cu[dv, if Smikrines and Onesimos are presented, like Pamphile and Habrotonon, as a 
pair (cf. Epitr. 1078 ff?). d:cas[oAoyodvra Kassel.

4021. MENANDER, Epitrepontes 150-164 etc. 
87/331(a) Fr. 15.5 X 9.5 cm Third century 


On one side, these scraps carry cursive writing parallel with the fibres: frr. 1 and 2 
seem to belong to the same document, fr. 3 has line-ends and beginnings from two 
other documents, joined together in a synkollesimos. Fr. 1.15 preserves part of a date- 
clause referring to the sole reign of Caracalla (AD 213-217) or the reign of Alexander 
Severus (222-235). 

On the other side (verso), upside-down and across the fibres, are remains of lines 
suggesting comedy. The slovenly script has strong cursive tendencies (a often as an 
open hook), with many ligatures; deep-bellied p, flat-based w. In itself, it could be 
assigned to the second or third century; the recto document shows that it cannot be 
earlier than the third. In fr. 1, change of speaker is indicated by paragraphos and 
space; dicolon perhaps in 157, not visible in 155 (but on damaged surface); at 160 
the space is filled with an oblique stroke in paler ink. The text-hand added abbreviated 
names of speakers in the margin and above the line. No lectional signs survive, except 
for elision mark and (fr. 3.10) diaeresis. In general, this looks like an amateurish copy; 
note the itacism in 161, and the doubled paragraphoi in 155-6 and 160-1. 

Fr. 1 twice offers the nomen personae aBpo’: if this is Habrotonon, the likely source 
is Menander’s Epitrepontes, for the name is rare (known otherwise only as a bit part 
in Pertkeiromene). A coincidence of text confirms this: fr. 1.10-15 evidently provide 
beginnings for the headless lines Epztrep. 159-164, fr. 2 odd letters from the latter part 
of these lines. For the lines as so far known we depend wholly on the Petersburg 
parchment (P). This leaf contains 127-148 on the recto and 159-177 on the verso; 
its lower part is missing, and the lacuna appears in the conventional numeration as 
ten lines, but may in fact have been substantially more (see below, fr. 3 note). 4021 
frr. 1 +2 now add the beginnings of 150-158; confirm some but not all of the standard 
supplements in 159-64; and show that, as most editors have argued, Habrotonon, 
Smikrines and Chairestratos are all on stage at this point. Fr. 3, line-beginnings appar- 
ently from a monologue, remains unplaced. The sloppiness of the script, and surface 
damage in frr. 1 + 2, make the readings more than usually unreliable.

long horizontal at mid-height, short vertical trace below (7?) 


The known text in 159 ff. fixes the relative positions of frr. 1 and 2. The surface is much damaged. In 
fr. 1.154~7 the last two traces of the line stand on a scrap which is attached only by straggling fibres (I 
have considered placing it a little lower, so that the traces assigned to 156 would attach to the character- 
name below, giving xa:; but there seems to be more ink than would be expected of a typical abbreviated 
form). Many traces on fr. 2 are too ambiguous to describe, and the traces on the extreme right are on a 
partly detached vertical strip which is too fragile to straighten. 

152 I can make nothing of the remains. Perhaps , 7, [, the last trace only a point at line level; but 
uw might be Aa or another similar combination, 7 would be anomalously shaped. At the beginning, at least 
two overlapping horizontals, one or both of which might be a paragraphos, but rather low in the line; 
then a high curve that might represent the joined upper loop of €. «un, Kady equally unsatisfactory. 

153 azrodovc 6[ possible. 

154 ABpor(ovov). The name in fact stands a little higher than the verse itself, ranging with the 
paragraphos. 

Perhaps r7v tpotka,[, but y would be cramped, and this reading does not account for ink above 7 
and p (suprascript letters?) and between p and the putative o. As sense, it could combine with 153 and 155 
(if rightly read), ‘The old man’ wants Charisios to ‘give back’ his daughter and her ‘dowry’: the dowry is 
already an issue in 134, and Smikrines will come to claim it in 1079. 

155 oyepw, : this continues Habrotonon’s remark (there is no trace of a paragraphos between 154 and 
155). 6 yépwy is tempting; if right, it shows that here at least Habrotonon and Chairestratos talk about 


32 MENANDER 


Smikrines, not to him. But the reading does not explain ink to the top right of y, which might suggest 
Oy épav. 

Then Smikrines speaks: cw suits the suprascript letters, perhaps cf rather than cyt. épwral, epw Talv, 
épwrw[v (the first w vestigial and doubtful; the second substantial, not a)? 

156 Ink in the left-hand margin, but I cannot reconcile it with any of the expected character-names. 
Smikrines begins a speech in 155, Chairestratos in 157; the speaker changed again in 156 (paragraphos). 
At simplest we could assume a speech of Habrotonon in between. But of course Smikrines may have resumed 
towards the end of 156. 

dcxod might be read (the noun; the verb seems rare in the middle; cf. 127 ff. for wine-bibbing); or 
dyxood (not suited to the style?) or dyxou (but elsewhere amdyyxecBar). 

~~ In ]_«a,ov, the first trace is very vague; after «a, the foot of an oblique descender, with more ink 
above, some apparently joining o at its top left—too much, it seems, for « or p, and wrongly spaced for r. 

Professor Kassel notes that ddd’ od [8]écavov would be plausible in itself; but the first A, at least, looks 
impossible as a reading. 

157 Thc vu[«]7dc? Charisios’ nocturnal dissipation (136)? After that, a point near line-level: remains 
of a dicolon? A new speech, headed X[aip(éctparoc) |, follows. 

Fr. 2 provides |Bpo[; to judge from 159 ff., this should come about 20 letters from the beginning of the 
line. Since Habrotonon speaks next, it’s likely enough that we have a vocative A]Bpd[rovov, ending with 
the fifth or sixth foot. 

158 ABpdr(ovov) seems certain from the f and the raised 7; the putative p is intersected by a rising 
oblique, as if aB/ had been the intention at one time. 

AX’ odk éxad [? (éxado[ looks possible, but not é«aAe[) But this reading does not explain the extra ink 
above v (unless it is a breathing). 

159-164 survive headless in P. Joining the two texts, and adding the traces on fr. 2 (often very 
uncertain, especially in 162, and those on the far right uncertainly placed) we have:

This confirms the supplements proposed for 159 and 164, but corrects those in 160-2; in 163 not 
enough can be read to confirm or disconfirm 6vrwa. 

159-60 There is no paragraphos below 159; that implies that the beginning of 160 continues the 
speech from 159. I can make nothing of it. (i) The ink. aero, _, the penultimate trace has the shape of a 
small nu, but there is more ink above it, touching the right-hand upright; then the tp at line-level of an 
oblique rising from left to right, which apparently continued over a small gap as a thick rising stroke; 
below this, in slightly lighter ink, is a thinner rising stroke, which I have taken to denote change of speaker 
(see 4022 introd.). (11) The context. What do we expect from py Aéye? It could be followed by an accusative 
(fr. 612.1; Men. et Phil. 1.217) or a clause, tic AcBa (Men. et Phil. 1.259), 67u (3.27); it might mean simply 
‘shut up’ (Aristoph., Vesp. 37, Pax 648). On the face of it, odrwe «7A attaches to it as a formula of request; 
but we could also take the formula as object, ‘Don’t say “Bless you ...’’’. Elsewhere in the play, the phrase 
is put in the mouth of Syriskos (264 f.); and see fr. 3.7—8 note. 

Since @ edov is excluded by prosody (and in any case leaves the last trace unexplained), we seem 
reduced to de¢é. But what then? My only idea was ore; but then (i) 7 does not suit either the main trace 
or the suprascript; (11) the phrase (see editors on Dysk. 426) seems generally to belong in general statements, 
not commands— unless here it begins a new sentence, which Smikrines breaks off in order to get down to 
business (6° odv). 

160-1 The papyrus gives the curse to Chairestratos, presumably addressed to Smikrines. Then, clearly, 
Smikrines speaks 161-2; presumably his name is concealed in the left margin of 161. If we assume that 
Chairestratos would not address Smikrines with the same freedom that Smikrines uses towards a slave 


4021. MENANDER, EPITREPONTES 150-164 etc. 33 


(1068), his curse here must have been an aside; and that raises the question whether, even at the end of 
the scene, Chairestratos and Habrotonon converse with Smikrines, or simply comment on his monologue.

Some suggestions of dialogue. But no paragraphoi can be seen in 12~15, where the line-beginnings 
survive, or in 3-11, where the right-hand end at least would be expected to show. Of course, we may have 
a continuous speech which quotes a conversation. One character begs (8, 12), another dismisses him (7, 9)? 

Fr. 3 was copied by the same hand as frr. 1-2. The chances are that it came from the same play. It 
may even have come from the same scene, if the repeated dyaba (—Oov) yévorro is significant (see fr. 1.159 
note). But in fact the phrase recurs in other scenes (below, 7-8 note). 

In the immediate context, there are physical arguments. (i) 4021. Fr. 1 has the foot of a column. Fr. 3 
cannot belong to the same column, since the documentary texts on the backs are different. At closest, it 
could belong to the preceding column, or the following; if the former, we need to allow for a lacuna, i.e. 
the lines which originally stood above fr. 1; how large a lacuna, we have no means of determining, but 
presumably not less than 15 verses, since at this narrow spacing the column must have contained at least 
30 lines. (ii) Membrana Petropolitana. The lower part of the leaf is lost. Early editors guessed a page of 
30-35 lines, and therefore estimated the lacuna at c. 10 lines (149-158, 178 ff.); this is still implied by the 
conventional line-numbering. But Turner produced parallels for a codex-format, in which the page would 
hold c. 50 lines (GRBS 10 (1969) 311 f.; Typology of the Early Codex (1977) 112 no. 227(a)). If we assume 
that, the gap between 148 and 159 amounted to c. 28 lines. Of these, fr. 1 provides beginnings of the last 
g. If the 21 lines of fr. 3 immediately preceded, they might just fit in the lacuna, or just overlap the headless 
lines 145-8. But the argument under (i) suggests that they cannot have come immediately before; and if 
we do allow for (say) another 15 lines between, the top of fr. 3 should substantially overlap lines 141 ff. 
Since I see no way of splicing the two, I conclude that either the page in P was even larger than Turner 
suggested or fr. 3 does not beloug here. 

Alternative placings would be: (a) in the lacuna before 127 or (b) in the lacuna after 177. With (a) 
we might visualise Smikrines relating a conversation with Charisios (how else did he know so many details, 
cf. 138?); but that goes against the normal assumption that at 127 Sm. ‘can hardly have been long on the 
stage’ (Gomme & Sandbach 294). As to (b), the yévouro formula might connect this speech with Daos 
(264 f.); but again it is normally assumed that 218 is the first line, or nearly, of the scene. That leaves the 
opening of the act, a monologue (it seems), perhaps by Onesimos (or by Smikrines?); or of course a scene 
totally lost in the gap between the end of P and the beginning of C. 

3 |, ovca possible. 

4 tJaparpBoyu[ seems inevitable (the spacing would allow the line to begin with Ja; but clearly dpa is 
excluded by the metre, and dpa as a first word). 

5 xl]@pac (or ¢]wpac) would be one division; then perhaps avaz[ or avar[ (but the traces might also 
allow avay[, even avav[; space and trace tell against avacr{, cf. 9). 

6 r]o yap m[€]pac [ could be considered, cf. 76 d€ mépac Dysk. 117 and elsewhere. But the final trace 
is rather angular for sigma. 

7-8 a ]|raddayn could be read, and indeed 4 JraAAdyn. A brisk dismissal (Austin on Asp. 246)? Then 

[© otrw modAd cou (or por) /dyaba yévorro. For the plural in this formula, cf. Dysk. 300 f. More usually 
dyaov, see 12 and fr. 1.159, Misoum. 433. Such phrases may reinforce a request (Epitr. 264 f., Syriskos) or 
an asseveration (Epitr. 1071, Smikrines). Here presumably it goes with the imperative preceding (if rightly 
read) or following in 9. 

8 The height of the final trace suggests yevo.8[ rather than yevort[o. 

g Pk. 469 xdBevd’ dreAfdy (Pataikos tries to get rid of the drunken Polemon, in a scene in which 
Habrotonon plays the flute). Here dvacz[de could be read (or dvacz[?), but ‘get up and sleep’ rings oddly: 
therefore dvact[n@ Kassel.

13 éAdAer Epitr. 886, Sik. 213. Probably 6€ jou, but the trace allows S€ wory[. 

15 It seems that evoyAe [ was the final intention (o written above a blotted a, parts of y in darker 
ink?); the last trace suitable to iota. jude may be the subject of this verb, or perhaps the object (we expect 
a dative on the model of Dysk. 693; but the accusative is adequately attested, e.g. Diod. Com.2.18, even if 
Misoum. 189 is a special case).

88/157(b) c. 8x 12cm Second century 


These tattered fragments represent two consecutive leaves of a papyrus codex. The 
first (fr. 1) had about 47 lines to the page, the second (fr. 2) about 45 lines. On both, 
‘verso’ (the side on which the writing crosses the fibres) precedes ‘recto’; Turner 
observed that this arrangement, | on the right-hand page, and unlike facing unlike, 
was common in earlier codices (Typology 67). The written surface can be estimated, 
very approximately, at 6.5 X 21 cm. 

The graceless and informal script, ornamented with occasional serifs, could be 
compared with the hands of 841 (Roberts, GLH 14), Pindar, Paeans, and assigned to 
the second century. If this dating is right, 4022 should be added to the short list of 
the earliest codices (Roberts & Skeat, Bzrth of the Codex 71). 

In fr. 1], where alone line-beginnings survive, paragraphoi indicate change of 
speaker; within the line, this is indicated by blank space or by blank with punctuation 
(stop, 393?, 394; high oblique dash, 382, 396, 435; stop without spacing, 395, 4367). 
The stops, a rough breathing (391) and the notae personarum (marginal and suprascript), 
are or may be by the same hand as the text. 

Though the ink is sufficiently clear, the papyrus presents great difficulties, because 
it is much broken and in some places the traces stand in straggling fibres or pieces 
which are connected only loosely to the main massif. The text confirms some supple- 
ments, and presents a number of variants. The apparent character-names in fr. 2| are 
a particular problem.

293 Paragraphos above and below; abbreviated marginal notes to the left of 293 and 294, most likely 
notae personarum. At 293 apparently | 1% vdz: the beginning can easily be read as c]ux(puvyc) or cuJerK (pwc); 
for the rest, Dr Austin suggests (8/(a), ‘aside’, ‘to himself’. At 294 confused traces with a raised letter at 
the end; this too could be read as «, but also (if part of the ink belongs to the final iota above) as e.g. w. 
Allowing for blots, cue“ might be possible (but who could have thought he spoke this line?), or sdvw(c); I 
cannot read what is expected, 1.e. cupick(oc) or avOpax(evc). 

C too has paragraphos above and below, and divides speeches thus: eypyKkev: ouxnKoucaceipy Kev: KaAWwC 
cup. Modern editors generally follow the dicola by giving the first word, as well as the last, to Syriskos. 
4022 might be interpreted as giving the first word to the character named first in the margin, i.e. Smikrines: 
an arrangement already proposed by Lefebvre and Sudhaus. 

376 de: the following traces may perhaps allow ra[uzv. 

378 e[vlov[uer, the traces (on straggling fibres) suit ov very well, but high ink (suprascript?) remains 
unexplained. 

382 ovnc is a good reading of the suprascript letters (of o the left-hand arc; the right-hand upright of 
v fused with the left-hand of y, as at 444); and in 384 clup is clear. These then are the expected notae 
personarum in what editors take to be a two-character scene. oy[n¢e can be recognised again in 395. But I 
cannot recognise either name in the suprascript letters of 392, 393, 394 and 396. See 396 note. 

384 Jouv: emvov:ourocyrevewarpawerar C. Presumably 4022 had a variant ovx«|odv ottoci pev dlaiverar 
(in that case, the nota personae stands a little to the night of the beginning of his speech, as perhaps in 396). 
Syriskos has a similar od«odv in 294. 

385 crid[: crpidvoc C. Editors have already been tempted to restore ctidpdc, which Moeris, and XV 
1803 quoting Men. fr. 389, declare to be the Attic form. 

386 The scribe left a space after 71. Punctuation? There are no suprascript letters to suggest that he 
intended change of speaker. 

387 The scribe left a space after ra. Any suprascript nomen personae would be lost in the lacuna. 

389 drayvornc: diayvorny C. Editors seem not to have doubted the first person. But the second person 
seems more idiomatic (and more easily corrupted to the other). 

391 qv: above the following letters traces which look more like ov[ than cup’[: i.e. téc 8 ef c¥ was 
assigned to Onesimos? 

The rough breathing is clearly written. 

392 Three or four letters written above zo:[, the first two (vo?) apparently deleted with horizontal 
strokes. I cannot read either of the expected character-names. See on 396. 

393 Above yo[ damaged remains, apparently not cv, perhaps 7, [. See on 396. Before it, a high trace 
of ink, perhaps the tip of a letter, perhaps a substantial high stop (not dicolon, for one would expect to see 
the lower point as well). 

394-7 The line-ends stand on a very damaged and confused scrap, placed to the right here on the 
evidence of the text on the back. 

394 Above tov damaged letters: see on 382. 

395-7 Doubtful traces on straggling fibres near line-end, perhaps 395 avt]ov[, 396 dewolv[.

that 4022 attached rév jérepov to the speech of Syriskos in the preceding line. 

396 I cannot read the suprascript letters as either of the expected character-names (382 note). marc 
might suit, but leaves the last two traces unexplained (in any case, it would not distinguish Syriskos from 
Onesimos). Dr Rea suggests |7r0« ||cup[: zrou(znv) would have resulted from a confusion between Daos, who 
was indeed a shepherd, and Syriskos. On that basis, one could try (very doubtfully) to read the parallel 
suprascripts thus: 392 [70 |ic[up, 393 a[, 394 [roe I<Lup-

before 0). But what follows is clearly ye or re, and more likely te, to judge from the position of the upright. 
That is, ofév re cHcae as a question (Austin)? 

The scrap on the right may preserve a high trace from the line-end.

63 6B.63/B(1—2)b 3.5 X 7.5 cm Third/fourth century 


A scrap from a parchment codex, written in a sloping Severe Style assignable to the 
third/fourth century. Another hand (blacker ink) was responsible for (all?) the lectional 
signs. Upper margin preserved to 1.5 cm. 

The flesh side preserves text identifiable as Epztrepontes 655-65. The text on the 
hair side must clearly belong to the same play, but no line of it has been identified in 
what otherwise survives of the context. We have no means of telling which side came 


40 MENANDER 


first, or how many lines intervened. Ten lines of this small script occupy 5 cm; we 
might therefore have to reckon with a column (page) of 50 lines or more. 

A transcript of this piece, with some notes, was found among Sir Eric Turner’s 
papers; he had printed a text of 655-63 in CE 54(1979) 120 n. 3 (the same in Actes 
du VII’ Gongrés de la FIEC I (Budapest, 1983) 254 n. 24).

Flesh side 

In the top margin, doubtful traces. Turner read them as 7a, a page number (less likely a quire number, 
if the Hair Side carries a similar numeral). But nothing reliable can now be seen. 

655-65 This part of the text survives otherwise only in C, on a lacunose page (H. Riad & A. el-K. 
Selim, edd., The Cazro Codex of Menander [London, 1978] pl. xvii) consisting of two separate fragments 
juxtaposed by Lefebvre; if there were any doubt (which there is not, since a quotation overlaps the two in 
692), our parchment proves the placing correct in 658.

which in turn depends on the division of speakers. Some have seen in C a dicolon at the end of 654 (and 
a paragraphos below its beginning). If that is right, and if the oath looks forward as at Sam. 139 (as 
emended), todro[y must stand alone (interrogative); if it is wrong, the oath may also look backward, to a 
clause of which rodro[v is the last word. It would in principle be possible to join todro[y with 4id[vuco]y; 
but the word-order and the practicalities discourage that (we find no evidence for statues of Dionysos on 
stage, as there were of Apollo, see Handley on Dysk. 659). Alternatively, we might seek a different reading

42 MENANDER 
4024. MrNANDER, Leukadia? 
103/210(b) 10X7cm First century 


On one side of this morsel, cursive traces run parallel with the fibres and at right 
angles to a sheet-join. On the verso, iambic trimeters punctuated by paragraphos and 
double point. The scribe wrote a graceless informal hand to be compared with XXV 
2435 (GMAW 57) and assigned to the first century. 

Line 5 coincides with Menander fr. 686 KT, quoted by the Etymologicum 
Genuinum, without specifying the play, for the rare word Caxopoc. The same entry 
quotes the same word from fr. 112, Dis Exapaton, and fr. 257, Leukadia. Given the 
references to 7érpa (2, 8, 102), and perhaps to a temple of Apollo (1), there is a good 
chance that our fragment comes from Leukadia. 

On that play, see most recently K. Gaiser, Menanders Hydria (1977) 445 ff.; E. W. 
Handley, BICS 26 (1979) 85 ff. A few quotations survive, frr. 255-62 KT; and some 
fragments of Turpilius’ version (ed. L. Rychlewska, Turpilit Comici Fragmenta, Teubner 
1971). The Mytilene mosaics include a single scene from the play, with no indication 
of Act; the central figure, female to judge from its clothing, wears a crown and carries 
a palm branch, and has therefore been interpreted as the priestess of Apollo 
(S. Charitonidis, L. Kahil, R. Ginouves, Les Mosaiques de la Maison du Ménandre a 
Mytiléne (1970) 53-7; T. B. L. Webster, rev. J. R. Green and Axel Seeburg, MNC* 
XZ 12; XZ 13-14 are possibly related scenes, but without identifying title). 

Handley l.c. publishes another piece of comedy from Oxyrhynchus (inv. 50 
4B.30/H(5)a, fr. 1); and, since it mentions ‘the great rock’, suggests that it might come 
from Leukadia. (See further K. Gaiser, PE 39 (1980) 99 ff., who thinks of Synaristosaz; 
H. J. Mette, Lustrum 25 (1983) 29 f.) This too is a verso text, in a first century hand. 
It would be tempting to recognise 4024 as part of the same roll, especially if both 
fragments are attributed to the beginning of the play (see Handley l.c.; and below). 
But the hands seem different; and in relation to the literary text, the recto document 
stands right way up in 4024, upside-down in Handley’s papyrus. Nonetheless, it is a 
notable coincidence, and one must bear in mind the possibility that a single roll was 
made up from old documents, some one way up and some the other, and written on 
by more than one scribe—or by one scribe whose writing varied from place to place. 

4024 carries no character-names. But the dialogue seems to involve two persons: 
an older woman (7), the Zakoros (5); and a ‘child’, presumably a girl (3 madiov, 5 
téxvov). I speculate below that 4024 belongs to an early scene of the play, and rep- 
resents the first meeting of the heroine with the Priestess (7) Caxopoc to be identified 
with the crowned figure of the mosaic).

2 mérpa[] «ai. Afier pa, shadowy traces on the edge, but I cannot be sure that they are ink; then, to 
judge from the normal size of « a short blank (punctuation?) in the lacuna. Dr Rea points out that 7érpa[«] 
(or 7érpax) would be equally possible. 

In either case, 7érp— represents a tragic prosody (contrast 9; compare fr. 258.3, anapaests from 
Leukadia); cf. Handley on Dysk. 414. I have not found a close tragic parallel for the line as a whole (Soph., 
Ph. 902 dmavra Sucxépeva is somewhat similar). Virg., Aen. 3.193 caelum undique et undique pontus, Ov., Tr. 
1.2.23 quocunque aspicio, nihil est nist pontus et aer. 

Turpilius perhaps had this line in mind, Lewcad. XI Rych. miseram terrent me omnia|maris scopult, sonitus, 
solitudo, sanctitudo Apollinis. (The text is so transmitted by Nonius 174.4; in view of the Greek, and the 
rhetoric, would one not expect a nominative in place of maris?) 

At the end, perhaps «[arw. 

1-2 How many speakers? No paragraphos shows below line 1; but, to judge from the paragraphoi 
below 3, 4 and 6, it might be completely lost in the initial lacuna (whereas a paragraphos below line 2 
would be expected to show its right-hand end). So far as the sense goes, it depends who is addressed in 
line 1. (i) Two speeches: X addresses the Child, and the Child replies; AzoAdov is, as usual, an exclamation. 
(ii) One speech: the Child addresses Apollo. If (i), we have to assume a third character, since the Priestess 
does not appear until 3; and the general description in 2 follows oddly on the aorist in 1. (ii), proposed by 
Dr Rea, is clearly much preferable: the Leukadia, to which this fragment can be assigned on other grounds, 
took place near the temple of Apollo Leukatas (fr. 258). 

3 (det seems inevitable, and fits well with ¢oBepa,[ (Aesch., Pers. 27 etc—another tragic touch?). 
After ¢oBepa, shadowy traces on the edge, quite likely not ink at all. Then either (i) PoBép’ a_[. Jc or 
(ii) doBepa [, ]c. With (i) we might look for an emphatic adverb, but a[év@ Jc (Kassel), a[7A@ Jc, a[xpwc, 
all look too long. This approach creates a split anapaest (or divided tribrach). (ii) requires a monosyllable. 
mwe and dic seem feeble: Ofc Rea: possibly 7éc— (interrupted question). 

xaipe: an older woman, carrying a water-jar, interrupts. Professor Kassel points to a similar scene, 
with roles reversed, in Plautus’ Rudens: 263 iubemus te salvere, mater.—salvete puellae (the heroine Palaestra 
greets the priestess Ptolemocratia); 285 ego huius fani sacerdos clueo (Ptolemocratia); 430 the priestess sends 
Ampelisca to fetch water. Plautus too, and perhaps his Greek original (Diphilus?), set his play near a 
temple and the sea-shore. 

ma.diov: ‘child’, not ‘slave’, cf. 5 téxvov. Nothing in the fragment determines the sex; but the general 
cast of the scene, and perhaps the fearful tragic tone of 2 f., suggest a girl. 

4 vy Kal cv y’: the reply as at Sam. 128; CGFPR 257.77. Both these continue with a vocative. But here 
the speaker of 3° (addressing zadéov) identifies herself in 5 (addressing réxvov). That gives good reason to 
reconstruct a question in 4”, j7uc edu’ éy[&;, with change of speaker before it (the papyrus shows a high 
point, damaged surface below: high stop and dicolon are equally possible readings). Then what follows cv 
scattered ink on straggling fibres, do not exclude this reconstruction, but do not confirm it. The objection 
would be that 7[ is narrow (and if the first trace there is taken as a large elision mark, the remaining trace 
is too curved to begin an eta). 

Written above | zore is | 7e,-: the first trace seems to be the right-hand arc of a circle; after « a 
narrow patch of damage; the stop at the end is faint. This should represent a correction or variant; it 
stands too far left to be a nota personae. My only idea is m]o7 ex, a variant on ef zo7’. But in that case the 
text before and after must have been different too. 

5 Men. fr. 686 KT. The sources are: (i) EtGen (I am grateful to Professor K. Alpers for allowing me 
to print his collation) Cdé«opoc: vewxdpoc, Hyovv 7 Siaxovodca epi To fepdv. Mévar8poc Alc eLanaravte 0d

(iv) Suda Z g same, but om. jyouv—tepov and Kal médkw—réxvov. 

Professor Alpers observes that the subscriptio in EtGen, confirmed by the parallel tradition in Photius 
and the Suda, states the source of these glosses as the ExAoyai (probably deriving ultimately from Seleucus) 
and the pyropixov. 


4024. MENANDER, LEUKADIA? 45 


Meineke, Men. et Phil. p. 107, and after him Chr. Dedoussi, @[ATPA: Tyntixos topos &. I. Kayswpeévov, 
Thessalonike 1975, 21~3 (I owe the reference to Dr Austin), took Caxopoc alone as quotation, 7 Kocuodca 
tov vady as gloss, the final réxvov as dittography. 4024 refutes this in every detail (réxvov is lost at the line- 
end, but implied by waSiov above), and confirms that Sylburg was right to recognise a trimeter. Note (1) 
the papyrus supplies the initial 4, which the quotation lacks (suppl. Sylburg); (2) the papyrus gives vew 
(originally vewy; the final v apparently blotted out, and an expunging dot above), the quotation vadv; no 
doubt the papyrus is right (the word does not occur elsewhere in extant Menander). 

Gaiser p. 463 assigned fr. 686 to Leukadia, and this papyrus tends to confirm the assignment. But on 
his view, the line addresses the Caxopoc as réxvov, whom he identifies as a girl serving the temple under the 
orders of a senior priestess. Our fragment shows that this is not so; see 7 note. The fragments contain 
nothing about a priestess other than the Caxopoc; that Caxopoc is here addressed as ujrep, and could therefore 
be identified with the central figure of the mosaic. 

6 Clearly 颒 vdwp begins a new utterance, but there is no sign of a paragraphos above (perhaps we 
should assume a dicolon at the end of 5). 

Here and below I have assumed a simple dialogue between Priestess and Child. But it remains possible 
that a third person intervenes. 

At the end, the likeliest reading seems to be rout: 7, [, the last an oblique crest as of a § A. Assuming 
a simple dialogue, and that the dicolon in 7 is correct, we need to allow for a short utterance of the Child, 
and another of the Zakoros, before the Child resumes with prep: presumably question and answer, and 
making the transition from the water to the rock. Perhaps (ITAI.) rout! 7A[ncéov; | (Za.) év [7H mérpa 7d 
(or pec Austin) v]aua (even ev 7[y, if the third trace is really ink). 

7 At the end, the papyrus is broken away just above line-level. On the whole it seems likely that, if 
there had been writing after ¢iAraz[7], it would have left traces. I therefore assume that the verse ended 
there. But the assumption is not secure. 

Jaya: one possibility, in the context of fetching water, would be v]éua. Again a solemn word, used by 
Menander for comic effect at Dysk. 947. 

unrep: before this, a possible or likely dicolon (an initial paragraphos would not be visible?). It would 
be simplest to correlate this with madéov and réxvov, which, since the Priestess needs to identify herself, 
must be terms of benevolence, not of family. Gow on Theoc. 15.60 found no example earlier of u#rnp as 
a term of respect; but see now Dysk. 495! 

It would be easy to guess that the Child will indeed turn out to be the priestess’ child; so that the 
terms of respect have a particular irony. Fr. 258 gives scene-setting anapaests, normally thought to be 
spoken by the priestess, and normally identified with the irregularly grouped verses which the scholia to 
Hephaestion found as the eicBoAy of Leukadia (the beginning? or near the beginning?: [Longinus] 38.2 «vOvc 
ev 77) etcBoAn corresponds to §8 of the speech!). Was this soliloquy followed by the scene in our papyrus? If 
so, the structure shows a clear likeness with Euripides’ Jon, both dramaturgically (the scenic solo, the sacred 
place, the fetching of water) and in plot (parent and child, one a new arrival, one serving the temple— 
Leukadia reversing the age-roles). 

8 |., the top of an upright; in zw, tau does not explain all the ink (a correction? or an exceptionally 
long descender from ¢ above?). 

The letters could be articulated in more than one way. The text printed, wot 7érpa ‘ctw, assumes a 
reference to a particular rock. But, as Dr Rea points out, | ou (mov, mov?) mérpac: tiv’, eté ror would be 
equally possible. 

After jor, dim traces before the papyrus breaks off. This is likely, from its position, to be the verse- 
end (only 5, as reconstructed, would be longer); I therefore incline to take the traces as a dicolon, although 
the lower point is higher in the line than elsewhere. 

On the argument made above, this line should continue a question by the Child. If one rock is in 
question, and has been mentioned before, we have to account for the absence of article. One pattern would 
be 7 tod Pawvoc (but |c cannot be read); another, continuing the theme of 6—7, ag’ Fc ddpeve]v? 

g Ifa dicolon is rightly read at the end of 8, the surviving text, unless the answer was very brief, must 
belong to the Priestess’ reply; a pity, since prima facie it would be tempting to take évOad/ as answering 
zrov. But in any case I can do nothing with the letters. | _vcwwatouc seems unavoidable (not azouc); the first 
trace the top of an oblique that slopes down from left to right, rather close to the next letter, perhaps the 
upper right of an angular loop (i.e. € 8 0 c; p), but a6 A w could not be excluded. —Jovci, | dvcw (direction),

éyetc shows that this is the Child speaking: a comment on the Priestess’ description? or more likely a 
further question, “You mean the very tall rock?’.

A 9B4/3(1) 1 3.5 X 3.7 cm First century 


A scrap (back blank) with parts of seven lines. The script, ornamented with hooks, 
serifs and half-serifs, has a gawky early-Roman look; a in the capital form. Compare 
GMAW 37 (assigned i BC/i AD) or XX XI 2555 (datable to the later 1 AD). No 
lectional signs. 

What little can be seen of matter and metre would support an attribution to New 
Comedy; and in 2—4 may be recognised parts of three proper names, Krateia Demeas 
and Kleinias, which occur together in Menander’s Misoumenos.

a circle, but I am not certain that c would account for all of it. I have tried other possible readings and 
divisions (~¢ adrév with elision, Avrov, —v rdv), but without finding anything more plausible. 

In rad [, the trace might represent a or A (not ray[). If (c)eaurdy is right, we can exclude e.g. parts 
of radaimwpoc and raAavrov; rd\A[a could be considered, or a part of raAac. 

Dr Austin notes a possible overlap of 5—6 with Misoum. 354~—5, lines poorly preserved in XX XIII 2656 
(latest text, CGFPR 151): there it might be possible to read the end of 354 as ov (rather than o 0) rad df, 
the end of 355 as Jo [@v]yarpio[v. To confirm the placing, 2~4 should be identifiable in 351-3; but the 
degraded remains in 2656 are indecisive (I am grateful to Dr Coles for his advice). 

Even if the placing is right, the problem of reconstructing 5 remains: assuming (c)eautov, what can be 
made of rad _8[? 

6 |. a: the first may be +, with the rightward extension of the cross-bar lost in damage (then a trace 
at line-level to the left belongs to the preceding letter) or possibly 7, a trace of the left-hand upright, the 
cross-bar projecting beyond the right-hand cross-bar. After a, the high trace, if not delusory, might be 
taken as the top of a narrow letter, i.e. « (—ra1, va?); better as a stop, i.e. high point or the upper part of 
a dicolon. Both metrical schemes outlined below require a short syllable here, which would exclude a. In 
that case, dedpo must begin a new clause, or a new speech, as imperative rather than simple adverb (cf. 
Sik. 146); which in turn might recommend the vocative Ovy[atep or Ovy[drpiov (cf. Misoum. 355, see above 
on 5).

4026. MENANDER (?), PROGAMON 
38 3B.82/E(1)a 6.5 x 10.5 cm Third century 


A scrap of thick, coarse papyrus. On one side, along the fibres, a few line-ends in a 
good practised cursive, perhaps from a land-register; line 1 mentions érnvt(Anpéry). 
On the other side, and upside-down, stands the title of a literary work, written across 
the fibres; the script, a not very well executed example of the Severe Style, could be 
assigned to the third century. The top edge is so straight that it may be original; the 
papyrus is broken on the other three sides. To the right, the vertical fibres have been 
stripped, except for one narrow, isolated patch about 2.5 cm from the top. 

In principle, the piece may be (i) a szllybos or (11) a colophon or (111) an independ- 
ent writing-exercise. In favour of (ili) we could point to the reused papyrus (assuming 
this side to be the verso), and to the misspelling 7; but the nature of the text tells 
against it. As to (i), the other examples (see Turner, GMAW nos. 6-8; Dorandi, SC'8 
(1984) 185 ff.) are narrower (lesser dimension 2—3.5cm), and most, though not 


48 MENANDER 


PAnt I 21, have their inscription written parallel to the greater dimension; 4026, as 
it survives, carries writing parallel with the narrower edge, with a blank of at least 
5.5 cm above. That leaves (ii): the text was copied on the back of the land-register, 
and this colophon was added to the right of the last column; the author’s name may 
have followed further down. But an apparent trace of writing above, to the extreme 
right, remains unexplained (4 note). 

The format certainly suggests a pair of alternative titles, even though the scribe 
failed to centre the linking 7, and wrote a rough breathing on it. Lucian’s "Ove:poc 7 
AXextpuwy provides a parallel; but I have not found a placing in this genre. Comedy 
would be the most obvious source (for alternative titles see Gomme & Sandbach, 
Menander 129 f.). To judge from the lists in Kock, Koerte’s Menander and Austin’s 
CGFPR, the possible authors are not many. Diocles wrote an "Ovecpou (Test. 1 K.-A.), 
Menander a J] poyau@v (Koerte II p. 128, who refers to a comedy of the same name 
by an unknown author, IG II? 2323.136). No doubt Menander is the best bet. 

The meaning of Menander’s title has been disputed. ‘rpoyapety significat concu- 
bitum ante nuptias exercere’, says Koerte. The alternative title provided by 4026 
suggests that the marriage was anticipated, carnally or not, in a prophetic dream.

IV. AESCHINES 


The following twenty-nine items represent all the remaining unpublished papyri 
of Aeschines that have been identified among the Society’s papyri from Oxyrhynchus. 
They have been collated principally with the most recent edition, the revised 1978 
Teubner text of Blass-Schindel. Among other editions use has been made particularly 
of the Bude text (3rd edition, 1962) and of Schultz’ edition (1865). 

These papyri nearly treble the total of known papyri of Aeschines. To those listed 
in the introduction to the 1978 Teubner edition may be added P. Oxy. Hels. 1, P. Koln 
VI 254 and P. Duke inv. G44 (ed. W. H. Wills, GRBM 10 (1984) 311-4). P. Colon. 
inv. 5927 (wrongly cited in the Teubner edition, pp. xxi and xlv) has been republished 
as P. Koln II 65. P. Mil. Vogl II 41 has been re-edited by J. Lenaerts, Miscellanea 
Papyrologica (= Pap. Flor. XIX) II 335-340. The Rainer papyrus (‘P1’ on p. xxi in 
the Teubner introd.) has been re-edited by U. Schindel, ZPE 46 (1982) 1-31. 

It is very difficult to obtain precise and reliable information about mediaeval 
MS—readings from the app. crit. in either the Teubner or the Budé edition. The 
apparatus in Schultz’ edition is much fuller. Just how much more extensive the 
mediaeval evidence is may readily be seen from the list of Aeschines MSS published 
by R. Roncali, Ann. Fac. Lett. e Fil. Univ. Bari 14 (1969) 381-390. We have tried to 
avoid citations of MS ‘groups’, given how frequently individual MSS within so-called 
‘groups’ provide variant readings. 

For convenience we append a conspectus of passages where our papyri exhibit 
readings different from the text as presented by Blass-Schindel. We add where we can 
details of the mediaeval MSS that support the papyrus reading or Blass-Schindel’s 
text, as well as other variants that there may be in these passages. We also include 
selected indications of the readings adopted in various other editions. 


4027. ArscHINEs Jn Tim. 3 


38 3B.84/H(3)b 10.2 X 6.5 cm Second or third century 


The papyrus preserves part of one column, broken above and below, which was 
perhaps the first column of the roll. Written along the fibres in a hand of severe style 
type. There are no accents or lectional signs. Iota adscript occurs in ro but is not used 
in 8. Elision is regularly employed (before rough breathings in 7, 8 and g). The back 
is blank. 

The text is faulty; repeated pév odv (0d pev odv dAov, 3 init.; wept wev odv TOUTUY, 
3 ad fin.) has led the papyrus copyist to jump back to the former, so that from the end 
of line 6 the papyrus will represent a repetition (only lines 11-12 are actually dupli-

cated on the papyrus as it stands, repeating lines 1-2). There is a subtle change in 
the script after line 6, suggesting an interval in the copying. See also 13 n. 

The column width of 8 cm is wider than is often found for oratorical texts, see 
E. G. Turner, GMAW? p. 7. The text lost before the fragment would occupy approxi- 
mately 31 lines, which would give a column height of at least 44 lines.

have written all along. Because of this, we refrain from supplementing line 12. 


LUCIANA SABINI 


4028. ArscHINEs Jn Tim. 14-15, 17-18 


100/73(a) 4.4 x 8.4 cm Second century 


The fragment comes from a roll and preserves parts of two columns with the 
intercolumnium and lower margin, in a semi-cursive hand. The back is blank. 

Between the end of the first column and the top of the second column as preserved 
on the papyrus, most of sections 15-17 have been lost. We can calculate from the 
average line length that 24 lines (assuming omission of the text of the véuor) have 
been lost from the top of col. ii, giving a column of 35 lines. The height of the roll 
may be calculated as 23-24 cm, including 3 cm for the preserved lower margin and 


4028. AESCHINES, IN TIM. 14-15, 17-18 59 


allowing 2—2.5 cm for the lost upper margin. The column height was c. 18-19 cm, 
the width c. 7 cm, with an intercolumnium of roughly 1.5 cm. We may futher calculate 
that the full text of the oration would have required approximately 90 columns which 
would have occupied a roll of c. 7.5 metres. 

There are no accents. The scribe punctuated with a middle point (i 6, 9 and 10). 
Paragraphi occur below ii 2 and 11. Tota adscript occurs in i 6 and 9.

5 Ifthe line is restored on the basis of the transmitted text (émvypdibac, édv tic €AevOepor), its length of 
29 letters would seem too long compared with the 22 letters of the adjacent lines; we suspect therefore that 
something different and shorter may have been written. 

6 The middle point signals the end of section 14. It is likely to have been combined with a paragraphus 
in the left margin, cf. col. 11.

text, although it is possible that the papyrus had a}zavra. 


Col. ii 
2 The paragraphus signals the break between sections 17~—18; it was probably accompanied by a 
middle point, cf. i 6 n. 


LUCIANA SABINI 


4029. Arscuines Jn Tim. 38-43 
101/221(a) Approx. 17.5 X 22 cm Third century? 


A much-damaged leaf of a papyrus codex, reassembled from sixteen fragments. 
There are two columns each side, with page numbers 13 (—) and 14 (|) at the head 
(in a different hand). The text on the leaf is lacunose and presents numerous variants. 
From the page numbers we may calculate that no other work is likely to have preceded 
the /n Timarchum in the codex, and that this speech would have occupied around 64 
pages (=16 double leaves). The margins are preserved in part (upper 2 cm, lower 
3 cm, inner side margin I cm, outer 2—2.5 cm). The intercolumnium each side meas- 
ures approximately 2 cm. Column areas are roughly 6 x 17 cm; there are 35 lines in 
the first column and 36 in each of the other three, with an average 13—15 letters per 
line (the outside limits are 11 and 19). The resulting leaf size of not less than 17.5 cm 
broad by 22 cm high (the margins may have been greater than what survives) would 
place it among the aberrants of Group 5 in E. G. Turner, The Typology of the Early 
Codex 18 and 24. 

The script is a rather broad and heavy severe style, with (across the fibres) a 
notable contrast between thick and thin strokes. Along the fibres, this contrast is much 
less pronounced. There are no accents. There are occasional stops as punctuation, in 
at least one instance a later insertion. A paragraphus signals the start of §40. Diaeresis 
occurs twice. Elision is frequent but not universal, and scriptio plena is preferred at the 
ends of lines. Iota adscript does not occur. Three times a supralinear horizontal bar 
represents v at the end of a line. 

The format of two columns per page in a papyrus codex implies an attempt at 
a prestige production, see Turner op. cit. 35-7. This codicological level, however, is 
in contrast with the textual quality. The papyrus presents inversions, additions and 
omissions which are often unjustifiable and not all of which are represented in the 
mediaeval tradition. There are very many differences from the text in the Blass- 
Schindel edition, but a conjecture in that edition is confirmed (recto ii 26). In general, 
the papyrus does not coincide with any particular MS or group of MSS. 

4029 is the sole papyrus witness for §§38-40 and 42-3. is recorded in part also 
by P. Duk. inv. G 44 ed. W. H. Willis, Studies presented to Sterling Dow (=GRBM to 
(1984) ) 311-4 with plate 21. The first part of §41 (here verso i 7-24) is also cited by 


4029. AESCHINES, IN TIM. 36-43 61 


Athenaeus, Deipn. 339 b—c. At verso 117-18 4029 shares the word order of P. Duk. 
(lines 10-11), unique at the time of Willis’ publication, and at verso 1 7 it attests the 
wording cited by Athenaeus and proposed for P. Duk. 

There is no evidence of any manufacturer’s kollesis on the leaf.

one which is not indispensable syntactically. Its omission might then have been intentional. I would exclude 
an error due to jumping from the final —oc of mponpypeévoc to the initial —oc of 6cor, because there is space 
in the lacuna for oc oc. The traces in the margin level with 20 may relate to the omission but I have been

17 The ink traces are confused, but correction from dative plural to singular (—¢ayral[ [cc] ]) must I 
think be preferable to correction from singular to plural (—dayia[:]S) because of the avoidance of iota 
adscript in this MS and the too wide gap which would follow uncorrected —¢ayia. Thus the high ink 
trace will be from the erasure, not a supralinear sigma. Schultz retains the plural; Blass-Schindel and Budé 
prefer the singular, with f Abb d Barb. 

18 After Ava, a cancelled letter (<?) with possibly w (cancelled?) after that, but it is hard to discern p[ 
in the traces following that. I cannot absolutely exclude —Aalic «[ac(?); the repeated plural might be 
expected, and together with dodayiaic is retained by Schultz. The traces transcribed after u[ or «[ are 
remains of the erasing strokes only. Either way, there is no other trace in the text tradition of other words 
between modvtedela and defmvwy (dumvwy pap.) except in f Abb Barb which give xat deimvw. The fragmentary 
marginal note (in a different hand) does not help to reconstruct the text. 

20 etepaic by the original hand, an error for ératpaic, was corrected by a second hand which wrote 
supralinear az above the second e. The correction was taken beyond this, however, with the addition of 


4029. AESCHINES, IN TIM. 38-43 67

47 5B.47/B(7-8)a Cao x23 cm Late second century 
+ 46 5B.51/C(3-4)a 

Five consecutive columns contain §§43—52 of Aeschines’ Jn Timarchum on the back 
of a second century register. There are two fragments, each reassembled from many 
smaller pieces; the gap between them comes down the middle of col. ii. This is the 
first papyrus witness for this section of the oration. Cf. the addenda in the edition of 
Blass-Schindel, pp. xxili-xxvi. The papyri of the Jn Timarchum listed there, to which 
P. Duk. inv. G 44 (see 4029 introd.) and also 4027-9 and 4031-4 should be added, 
all come from MSS different from 4030. 

The upper half of the last column has been lost. The height of the roll was approx. 
23cm, with an upper margin of 2cm and a lower one of 2.5cm. There are two 
(this of course is on the side of the roll with vertical fibres), giving a sheet width of 
21 cm. The papyrus was a working copy rather than a prestige production; the height 
and width of the columns are uneven, the number of lines per column is not constant 
(33 in col. i, 37 in col. iv), and there are many writing errors corrected by the scribe 
himself in the course of making this copy. The same scribe has also inserted some 
punctuation and lectional signs at the same time. However, most of the corrections, 
cursive supralinear additions, accents and punctuation have been effected in a paler 
ink at a revision stage, although they may still be the work of the original scribe. 
Diaeresis occurs over initial « and v and in ii 8 and iv 33 over epideictic v. Elision is 
marked in iii 4, and iota adscript occurs in ii 26. Final v at the end of a line is 
occasionally represented by a supralinear bar. Written in a semi-cursive hand. 

Compared with the Teubner edition of Blass-Schindel (1978), the papyrus pre- 
sents frequent changes in word order, and in many places the reconstruction of text 
lost in lacuna is uncertain. From an overall view of the table above, pp. 51-2, the 
papyrus tends to align itself (but not consistently) with the readings of d fh q Barb Abb.

5 ].ew suggests an infinitive, perhaps mepueveyxeiv. tepievéyxac Blass-Schindel; no variant appears to 
be recorded here in the mediaeval tradition. The implications of an ink trace between don and eic 
remain uncertain. 

5-7 The reconstruction of these lines is difficult. From Socy in 5 till owafe in 7, the text tradition offers 
us a total of 32 letters, to be distributed over a space sufficient for 50. This exercise is complicated by the 
fact that apparent aic in 6 will not fit with any word in that tradition. 


g [av]. The deletion (indicated by a supralinear bar) is by the original scribe, who presumably caught 
himself writing avdpdc too soon. 


ROBERTA BARBIS 


4033. Arscuines /n Tim. 190-192 
g 1B.170/J(a) 3.5 X 13.5 cm Second or third century 


A tall narrow strip with part of the top margin and the middle letters of a narrow 
column. Distribution of missing text between lines is conjectural. 

Lines 6—7 have been written closer together and in a smaller script, but by the 
same hand; 7, moreover, must have projected into the right margin (although not as 
much as the transcript might suggest, since the letters are smaller). Perhaps the writer 
left a blank line, because his exemplar was faulty in some respect, intending to fill it 
in later, but he then found that the space he had left was insufficient. 

There are no accents. A high point is used in 7, 12, 18 and 24, and a double 
point in 23. At least those in 7, 12 and 23 are insertions. In 18, the heavy high point 
after dyJov is followed by a long horizontal line. 

Written in a distinctive upright hand with occasional slight serifs and some ligatur- 
ing, with very few projections above or below the main line of writing. Cf. 4034. The 
back is blank.

1 The remains in the upper margin may be of an omitted word, for insertion in the text, perhaps at 
line 8 (see n.). Jvae is in the original hand, but on the small scale of 6-7. ‘7’is in a more cursive script. 

3 Above the first € of yevécOar, the letters yy have been added perhaps by a different hand, with the 
effect of transforming an aorist infinitive into a present infinitive. The variant yevécfar is apparently unattes- 
ted in the mediaeval tradition. 

8 There is no MS or editorial support for the supralinear correction of wydév to under. 

At the end of the line, an infinitive is wanting after [c«avov] (if that restoration is correct), but there 
is no space for it on the papyrus. The overlooked infinitive might have been 7yeicHa (so Blass-Schindel, 
Budeé, Schultz) or efvar (cf. Ammonius s.v. «éAnc); in favour of the second might be the presence of }vac in 
the upper margin, see I n. 

g Here and in to and 12 (and perhaps also 13, now lost) todto has been converted to tadra by the 
insertion of two supralinear alphas. As regards 10, cf. Schol. Patm. p. 154 (apud Blass-Schindel). 

g-10 AyctHpra first of all was changed to the singular by the supralinear insertion, and then the 
insertion was itself cancelled with a line through it. We may suppose that t[a in 9 underwent a similar 
process. 

16 The supralinear insertion of the article before tupdvvoic is probably due to the original scribe. The 
wording of his first version, without the article, is found in Codex Laurentianus conv. soppr. 84 (= Abb). 

18 After v, a heavy high stop. After that, a long horizontal line, by the original scribe. Are we at the 
end of a later insertion as conjectured for 6-7, see introd., only here the space that had been left proved 
more than adequate? 

19 The line seems unexpectedly short. 

21 The modification may be due to the original hand, adding the apostrophe and supralinear e¢, 
with a dot at least above 7. It is not certain how aAdyA[ might have continued; we supplement the line so 
as to cause the minimum disturbance. 颒 is bracketed by Blass-Schindel (i.e. aA’ ofc). 


4033. AESCHINES, IN TIM. 190-192 79 


28-9 mportpeecbe in the Teubner text is from a conjecture by Cobet; the papyrus may have had 
mpotpepacHe along with (it seems) the majority of the mediaeval MSS. P. Hal. 6 offers mpotpéare, see 
Blass-Schindel, p. xxv. 

29 The traces are scanty but best support the reading év d¢ ed (fh q) against ed 5é of a b g m p Vat

4034. Arscuines /n Tim. 194-6 
26 3B.53/G(3-5)a 6.2 x 8.4 cm Second or third century 


Parts of the tops of the two final columns of the oration, with a fine coronis. The 
final column has three lines only, with a large blank area below. There is no trace of 
a colophon. 

Line length varies between 14~18 letters. Normal column height will have been 
41-43 lines. In col.i 1 elision is marked with an apostrophe. There are examples of 
diaeresis (1 4), a high stop (113), a double point (i 16) and a forked line filler at the 
end of 16. Another double point at the end of i 14 is wrongly placed for punctuation 
and perhaps serves a different textual purpose. In col. i the text shows traces of faint 
horizontal ink ruling lines, especially noticeable below i 2, 7 and 10. There is no trace 
of vertical ruling. The ruling was done a column at a time; the lines do not reach into 
the blank foot of col. ii, and no ruling is visible below any of the three lines of script 
there. No such rulings are present in 4033 (see below). 

The script seems closely similar to that of 4033, and it is possible that they belong 
to the same roll despite the divergent inventory numbers. The amount of text lost 
between them would accord with one completely missing column. The back of 4033 
was blank; here on the back are the remains of six cursive lines, the lower four very 
faint and possibly deliberately washed out.

1 A tiny trace of ink above the beginning of this line, of uncertain significance. 

3 On the basis of the calculated average number of letters per line, the papyrus must have omitted 
something between xai (2) and xeypypévwv (3-4). See the table above, p. 53. Omission of roic is proposed 
there, being well attested in the mediaeval tradition. The solitary reading of p, tovroic in place of (roc) 
tovovto.c, would fit the space better still. 

8-9 mpiv tHe cuvnyopiac Blass-Schindel. The traces here before v are scanty (a vertical, and a trace of 
a ligature?) but seem not to suit iota (mpiv); nor would zpw here and ry cuvyyopéac in g suit the line length. 
We are thus pushed towards reading r]qv °[cuvnyoptav as does P. Hal. 6 (see pp. xxiv—xxvi in Blass-Schindel, 
and J. Lenaerts, CE 41 (1966) 154-5) and part of the mediaeval MS-evidence.

Written in a neat small and very graceful hand of severe style type. As punctuation 
there are high stops in 16 and ii 11, seemingly by the original scribe. The high point 
at the end of 19, if not accidental, is a mistake. Also due to the original scribe is the

between them. The small fragment has the foot of the column. A projecting fibre at 


4039. AESCHINES, IN CTES. 6-7 85 


the top of the larger fragment shows no trace of ink, so that the top line of the fragment 
may be the top line of the column. If so, the column contained 29 lines and the whole 
speech would have required an estimated 182 columns, of which the papyrus would 
contain the fifth. 

There are four paragraphi, and high points mark out the phrase pygiodpar Kara 
tovc vououc (5-6). The original scribe has also made a prominent correction in 6, 
see n. There is one circumflex accent (4), perhaps also due to the same scribe. Iota 
adscript is regularly employed. An apostrophe in 18 may be by a second hand. 

Written across the fibres in a large coarse upright hand of semi-documentary 
type. On the other side of the larger fragment are 16 line beginnings in a cursive hand 
from a register of the late first or perhaps early second century. The list includes some 
Roman names. Lines 2—6 run as follows:

112/1(a) Fr.a15 X25 cm Second or third century 
Fr.b5.2x 10cm 

Two separated fragments from a papyrus roll. The larger has one column virtually 
complete plus line-beginnings from the top and foot of the column following. The 
smaller piece, with parts of two columns, comes from later in the roll. XIII 1625 also 
covers these sections of this oration, and there are overlaps with the present text. 

On the larger fragment (fr. a) the upper (5 cm) and lower (5.5 cm) margins are 
preserved. The intercolumnium measures 2.5 cm, as it does on fr. b. Col. i contains 
32 lines, with an average line length of 11-12 letters. The scanty traces of fr. a col. ii 
are sufficient to establish that it had at most 31 lines against the 32 in col. 1. 

There are no accents. There is a rough breathing in (a) 1 24. Elision is generally 
employed (but not in (b) ii 10), unmarked by apostrophe. As punctuation, there are 
several high stops; the one in (a) 12 is combined with a paragraphus, of diple form. 
Another such paragraphus is below (a) i 6. There are more plain paragraphi elsewhere. 
There are line fillers of diple form, a double one in (a) 13. Iota adscript is nowhere 
written. vojor in (a) 17 is framed in ornamental strokes. The orthography is correct 
(except vyew for div in (a) 14). There are no corrections, and indeed no ink on the 
papyrus that can be securely allocated to a second hand. 

This was obviously a handsome manuscript in a generous format. The script is 
a fairly large severe style. The script of IV 703 is very close; I would not like to assert 
that that papyrus, containing parts of Jn Ctes. 94 and 96, was not from the same roll.

On the back are widespread faint traces, probably to be explained as offsets.

1~5 The papyrus here appears to offer a novel, simplified reading. Jo in 1 controls the content of 2 
(moving todro backwards would make 2 too short); 2 projects to the right and its final letters are written 
small, so that the line length is not excessive. The papyrus might nevertheless have had rovro ypddew with 
Laur. The high stop at the end of 2 suggests that 67. may have been omitted; in any case the space in the 
papyrus requires economies to be made. Omission of oddév seems the easiest way to achieve this (which 
incidentally would exclude omitting with Stephanus ovr’ in place of 671).

1-3 The papyrus cannot accommodate the text as followed in the Teubner edition: supposing only 3 
lines lost above [pn¢icwa] is of no help. If we read Jev correctly in 3, omission of bo rod Sypov after 
TyLswpevjov at the end of 2 seems the best solution. 2 as restored is perhaps too long; did the scribe omit 
airy? There would not appear to be mediaeval-MS evidence for either of these alterations.

6 The Teubner apparatus attributes the reading r7d€ 74 ypada (which is in the papyrus) to the MSS 
of family B, + V (which forms part of family B, see ibid. p. xvi). This is in direct opposition to Schultz’s 
apparatus where effectively the same MSS (a g mn pz V Laur FI) are cited for the reading 77 ypadbq 
tye. A personal examination of Laur and F! has confirmed that they attest the reading Schultz attributes 


to them.

A 589/1 15.4 X 11.2 cm Second century? 


Parts of three columns, broken above and below, in a large informal hand. Only 
the first letters of a few lines of col. iii survive; they lie precisely on a kollesis. There 
are no lectional signs. The text was first identified by John Barns. The back is blank. 

Approximately 20 lines have been lost between cols. i-ii. The columns would 
have had c. 33 lines and an approximate height of 27 cm. The lines average 17 letters 
and 6 cm in length. Each intercolumnium measures approximately 2.5 cm. 

The papyrus text supports an old conjecture in §57, see i 6 n. Otherwise the main 
textual point of interest is at the foot of col. ii, where the papyrus is fragmentary and 
damaged but may yet preserve a reading not precisely attested elsewhere. The interest 
of this is reduced, however, because 4044’s text would be a defective or at least 
abridged version of the wording found in 4045 i 22 ff., on which see the note.

32 4B.7/H(2)a (a) 1.6 x 4.4 cm (b) 5.7 17.4 cm Second or third century 


Remains of a complete column of 45 lines, with an average line length of 17 
letters and a written height of 19.4 cm. Incomplete upper and lower margins. Beyond 
an intercolumnium of 1.4 cm are the line beginnings from the lower part of a second 
column. The beginnings of i 1—9 are on a small detached fragment (= (a)), while the 
rest (1 10-45 and all the remains of ii) is on a group of joined fragments, = (b). 

The hand is an example of the severe style, small and tight-packed. The form 
sometimes used for kappa is very individual, with a space between the upright and 
the arms. 4053 below, from nearer the end of the Jn Ctesiphontem, is almost certainly 
by the same writer. The number of lines per column 1s slightly different (c. 39 against 
45-7) so that it is difficult to know whether the two papyri represent one MS, but 
the inventory numbers indicate that they were found in the same (the fourth) season. 

The columns lean markedly to the right. There are high stops in i 22 and 38. 
Elision occurs in i1g and 26. There is a double space filler in 144, and some final 
letters (notably 7 and v) are dramatically broadened for the same purpose. Final v, 
on the other hand, is also twice represented by a supralinear bar (i 19, 41). 

The text generally supports the basic mediaeval tradition against minor oddities 
in recentiores, but in two places it offers a more complete wording (1 22-3 and 36-7); 
in both places the gain is partially lost because of the damaged state of the papyrus. 

There are no remains of any kollesis. The back is blank.

preliminary if they wished to recover hegemony with the aid of the other Greek cities. The lost text 
(Clee. a|¥rovc or more probably the ending |vyrouc of an adjective) must be an element to be taken

lowed by Blass-Schindel, Budé and Schultz. We restore dmuic{rdétepoc, to conform, but e k | have daucroc 
and our restoration of the comparative may be incautious, given the uncertainties each side of it in the 
papyrus. The papyrus cannot have had rovodroc in this position. 

45 This line is slightly above the level of col. ii 47. The line numbering in col. ii is calculated from 7[ 
which is level with col. i 30. It is just possible that a short line followed here (i.e., i 46), which would help 
to even the line count, but I am inclined to think it did not. It would have to be unusually short, and 
would in fact be at a level slightly below ii 47. 


Col. ii 
44-47 The fragmentary remains are most smoothly restored in such a way as to support Wolf’s deletion 
of ov« dvapetvavra or ov mapapetvavta which the MSS read before or after tovc (wap’ exeivov) mpécBeuc.

This small codex fragment must have belonged to a volume with pages of consider- 
able size, to judge from the text lost between recto and verso. The writing column is 
quite narrow, only an average of 16-17 letters per line, and approximately 240 such 
lines will have been required for the missing text. There must have been several 
(three?) columns to each page; this fragment would need to have been located near 
the spine. 

Recto precedes verso. No margins are preserved. The script is small, serifed and 
upright, in a brown ink. The only lectional sign is a high stop at verso 4; this may be 
due to the original hand, but to judge from the spacing it is an insertion, 

As far as it is preserved, the text is consistently that of the commonest tradition 
in the later MSS.

7 1B.3/F(c) 5.9 xX 7.8 cm Late second century 


Parts of ten lines from the foot of a column. The column was narrow (5 cm); the 
line length ranges from g—13 letters. The lower margin measures 2.3 cm. 

This was a handsome MS; the fine script of Biblical Uncial type is very similar 
to that of 4051 (/n Cites. 160-1), as is the layout. 

There are no lectional signs. The original scribe employs elision. A second hand 
has corrected the text at 8, adding dé above the line. The scribe has tried to preserve 
a justified right margin, writing the last few letters in some lines on a smaller scale, 
and using a line filler (of diple form) in 6. 

The back is blank.

of Roberts, GLH toc. There are no lectional signs. The lines average 22 letters. The 
notation #yHdicua survives in 6, centred, generously spaced above and (probably) 
surrounded with decorative marks. The writer employs iota adscript (5); we have

48 5B.32/F(1—-2)a 8.2 X 14.7 cm Third century 


A damaged leaf of a papyrus codex, in two non-contiguous fragments. The hori- 
zontal fibres of the upper part of the recto have been largely stripped. Recto precedes 
verso. The margins are preserved in part: the upper one measures 1—1.2 cm, the lower 
one 1.6-2 cm, and the inner one 1.4—2.2 cm. There are no remains of the binding. 
The outer edge has been lost. There are scanty remains probably of page numbers in 
the upper margin on each side (on the small fragment), but not enough is left of either 
even to suggest an identification. The recto has 23 lines, the verso 24. Line length 
averages 29~30 letters. The script is a spiky severe style. 

The scribe uses diaeresis, and there is a possible apostrophe in recto 14. Final v 
appears before both vowels and consonants. Elision is sometimes employed (recto 14), 
sometimes not (recto 22). 

From the textual aspect, the papyrus shows no special affinity either with any 
individual mediaeval MS or with any group of MSS. It presents a number of variants, 
some already attested in the mediaeval tradition but others quite new.

Recto 

1 Ifour reconstruction is correct, the papyrus offers a /ectio singularis, perhaps originating by suggestion 
from avdpoc 7) du@tov 7) Svuvacrov in §114. 

3-4 The reconstruction is very uncertain, since only scanty and scattered traces remain. 

5-13 Although occasional letters can be seen here and there, the appalling state of the surface makes 
the reconstruction of these lines difficult. A major problem, making reconstruction still more hazardous, is 
that the scribe must have omitted something. To fit the text of the Teubner edition into this space would 
require lines averaging 33 letters, against the average of 29~30 letters where the text is more secure. 

13 Traces could conform with —[vo]/a y[ndé, but this would create problems with the line length in 
the preceding line. Was Anroi nd’ omitted? 

15-17 In the left margin there is an elaborate series of signs in the manner of a coronis, followed by 
a decorated paragraphus below 17, perhaps all in the same hand as the main text. 

18 Plural wavrefac was written in error for pavteda, cf. 15 above. Inc de fgk1m pq Barb Flor 
Laurl the reading is pavteia dpxor apa. The papyrus gives no text for any of these citations, and it supports 
the arrangement made by the Blass-Schindel and Budé editions against those adopted by Schultz and others. 

19-20 ravryc THC pavTetac y[evopernc K]au THC apac Kat Twv opK[wr. This is a lectio singularis, and the 
papyrus may provide the original reading in this tortured passage in the mediaeval MSS. See the table 
above, p. 56. Once the word order had become distorted as in e k Laur Laurl, yevowévne created a 
grammatical problem, which in a g m n Flor was handled by conversion of yevouévynce to ye (unless this 
derives from a copyist’s misunderstanding of abbreviated ye(vouevnc)?), while | deleted the word altogether.

a) ére(yicay (for «:m see Gignac op. cit. 237-8), or b) éreéyncay (so Barb).

17-18 mpotepov Blass-Schindel; no variant is recorded. This will not suit the papyrus, where zpoc

beginning of 18. 

18 drov. The supralinear addition of the first two letters has been made by a different hand. 

19 This passage has proved somewhat indigestible for the MS-tradition. See the table above, p. 56. 
Further attributions can be deduced from Weidner’s apparatus, but we do not report these because they 
have proved false where we have been able to check them, and others unverified contradict specific readings 
given elsewhere. The reading in the papyrus was at least dvdpoc 7) téuTov. Reading 7 avdpoc 7 iSuTov 
might just be admissible, but space is against inclusion of the first 7. As regards 7 before (d.dTov, dvdpdc 
could be qualified by duvacrovu as well as by (é.arov, both being used adjectivally (cf. dvjp iSudtyc in §158, 
and Hdt. 2.32 avépav duvactéwv), so that the presence of 7 before both ?Sui7ov and duvdcrou need not 
cause difficulty.

23 dcw. Study of the Teubner apparatus on this point reveals clearly the inaccuracies that can arise 
from the use of MSS-‘families’: & C, where ‘family C’ includes c and q (see ibid. p. xvi), but c reads @ cw

101/185(a) 6.6 x 18 cm Late second century 


Almost one complete column is preserved on this fragment from a papyrus roll. 
The upper margin measures 2 cm, the lower 3 cm. The column is narrow, the line 
length varying from g~13 letters. Both the hand, a careful Biblical Uncial, and the 
format are similar to 4047 above containing Jn Ctes. 98. The back is blank. 

There is a correction by the original hand, effected by a transverse bar and a 
supralinear insertion (3); there is another correction, this time the erroneous letter 
partly washed out (plus a supralinear insertion), by a different hand in 14. The scribe 
has tried to avoid hiatus, either by elision (14, 20 and 21, but not in 1) or by the use 


4051. AESCHINES, IN CTES. 160-1 105 


of final v (18). Diaeresis is employed over initial v (14, 18). There are no accents, 
breathings or punctuation. Iota adscript is not used.

The ends of 17 lines, with minute traces from the line beginnings of the following 
column. The intercolumnium measures 1.5 cm. Line length ranges from 16—20 letters 
(in line 13, 15 letters plus a space). 

There are no accents or breathings. There is a space serving as punctuation in 
13. An interlinear correction in 12 is effected in a smaller script and paler ink, and is 
probably due to a different hand. 

The text preserved on the papyrus, from 5 on, is transmitted also by P. Hamb. II 
165 which has §§194—200 but is lacunose for the first part of §195. The two papyri 
present identical variants in two places. 

The script is very informal with frequent ligatures. On the back the vertical fibres 
have mostly been stripped. There are no obvious traces of writing, except on a small 
glued-on repair patch where the fibres are in fact horizontal.

The upper portion of two columns, with a surviving upper margin of 3.3 cm and 
an intercolumnium of 1.4 cm. The text lost in the lower part of col. i can be distributed 
in c. 25 lines with an average length of 18 letters, as in the preserved lines, to give a 
column height of c. 39 lines and a roll height of perhaps 24 cm. 

There are two paragraphi, below i 1 and 11 9; there are several high stops. There 
is a diple line filler at the end of 11, and a diaeresis in i 12. Elision is regularly used. 

The hand is an example of the severe style, small and tight-packed. The form 
sometimes used for kappa is very individual, with a space between the upright and 
the arms. 4045 above, from earlier in the Jn Ctesiphontem, is almost certainly by the 
same writer. The number of lines per column is slightly different (45-7 against c. 39) 
so that it is difficult to know whether the two papyri represent one MS, but the 
inventory numbers indicate that they were found in the same (the fourth) season. 
There is a kollesis just before the line-ends of col. i. The back is blank. 

The very end of the papyrus covers the same part of the oration as the beginning 


of 4054 below.

4055. ArscHinEs In Cites. 87-92, 94, 220, 223-5, 229, 233-4, 240, 242, 248-9, 252 
88/J.4B (fr. c) 7.5 11cm Third century? 


Numerous fragments survive from this elegantly written manuscript, scattered 
across two thirds of the speech. The hand is a distinctive upright version of the severe 
style, serifed and of a good size. 


IIo AESCHINES 


The first seven fragments ((a)—(g), themselves in part assembled from what had 
been many small separate pieces) can be distributed with reasonable assurance over 
seven columns, covering §§87—94. A column contained approximately 11 lines of text 
as printed in the Teubner edition (col. iii, the best preserved, had 28 lines averaging 
15-16 letters in length). Beyond this, the fragments are much more scattered; they 
represent portions of §§220—252, with substantial gaps. 

We use separate line numbering for the separate fragments, except for (c) + (d) 
since we can reconstitute the column, and for (q) + (r) which overlap and virtually join. 

Several pieces preserve upper, lower or side margins, but only in col. ili (= 
fr. (c) +(d)) are parts of all four preserved, giving a column height of c. 18 cm and 
width ofc. 5.5 cm. The upper margin measures at least 2.3 cm (and contains fragment- 
ary marginal notes in a second hand in col. iii), the lower at least 1.1 cm, and average 
space between columns is at least 1.8 cm. The overall roll height must have been at 
least 21.4.cm. 

Profiting from the useful word count for the speech in the TLG Canon (19,171 
words), and dividing that by a rough estimate of the number of words per column in 
4055 (3 words per line x 28 lines= 84), we emerge with an estimate of 228 columns, 
which would require 17 metres of papyrus. 

Lectional signs surviving are high points in a number of places ((b)2, 5; (c)11; 
(h)2; (j)33 (m)2; (p)6; (q) + (r)7), and a possible low stop in (t)4. There are occasional 
line fillers of > form, and paragraphi at section changes (224/225 on fr. (j), 252/253 
on fr. (t)). There are marginal marks at (c)3 and (j)7, the latter coinciding with the 
224/225 paragraphus. The writer uses iota adscript consistently, as far as the papyrus 
text is preserved. There are remains of two kolleseis, in the margin of fr. (e) and on 
fr. (j) between « and ¢ in 2 (the column leans strongly to the right, so that progressively 
more letters lie to the left of the kollesis). 

The back is blank. 

We would like to acknowledge generous assistance from Professor W. H. Willis 
in helping us to place fragments in the early stages of our work.

The Teubner text will fit the remains, as far as they go. It would be difficult and

remains of a very different wording in 4-5.

4-5 The papyrus text here differed substantially from Blass-Schindel (uéyicrév ects kaxdv), but I am 
at a loss to suggest what was written. The damaged parts of both 4 and 5 might be read as dewév, which 
is not very illuminating.

are remains of marginal notes here, in a second hand, roughly centrally over the column, broken off above 
and on the left:

The notes are in a rough sloping hand, much smaller than the script of the main text. There are 1.6 cm 
of clear margin between these notes and the text.

8 cuvayay[wy is sufficient to show that the papyrus attested the reading of the MSS e k I.

10-11 Blass-Schindel’s catackevafwy is apparently a conjecture without MS support. 

25 eyKatadurwy is apparently the universal reading in the MSS, and is retained in the Bude edition. 
Blass-Schindel’s katadurwyv goes back to a conjecture of Franke, and is followed by Schultz and Weidner. 

27 Insertion of tpomdc in the lacuna here is conjectural, but there is no room for it in the lacuna 
before rod Edpi|rov in 28, the position where all the modern editions put it. There does not appear to be 
any MS support for it in the position conjectured for the papyrus, but note the word order in the citations 
in Blass-Schindel’s apparatus (Dio Cass. XLVI, 3 and Lucian. de mort. Peregr. 1).

The remains will accord perfectly with Blass-Schindel’s text. The lateral placing is not certain; an 
alternative position is possible, transferring 2~3 letters to the beginning of the line following. Lines 2—4 
would then preserve the line ends, although this is clearly not apparent on the papyrus itself. 

2 The high point may be an addition; there is no spacing allowed for it.

Fr. (j) 1 wl might be from 8yyoc, §224.12 in Blass-Schindel, but is best left unrestored given the 
uncertainty over the text at 2 here. 

2 «e[. A puzzle. These letters (¢ is damaged but reasonably secure) do not occur in Blass-Schindel’s 
text at this point (calculating backwards from firm ground in 3), nor have I found a variant MS reading 
that contains them. 

3 The punctuation is contemporary, space being allowed for it. 

5 The papyrus may have had zroceicAar (so Schultz and Weidner, with h k 1) instead of troujcacBar 
(Blass-Schindel, Budé), which would give a slightly shorter line. 

8 8[e]e[c. This seems to be the only point at which one can begin a new line in the text as transmitted 
by the MSS, though the minute initial trace seems ill adapted to 8. Possibly it should be ignored as stray 
ink (it lies slightly in the margin), allowing us to transcribe [8]e[tc. 

10 A dot of ink immediately to the left of and below initial v: accidental? 

The line if transcribed following Blass-Schindel’s text would be far too long, and the papyrus must 
have had a shorter wording than that transmitted by the mediaeval MSS. The simplest adjustment would 
be the omission of ayev7roue. 


The lateral placing of fr. (k) within the column is conjectural. The position transcribed results in the 
last trace in 6 being the last letter of the line; of course, no indication survives on the papyrus itself that 
this is the end of the line. 

Fr. (k), as far as preserved, will accord perfectly with Blass-Schindel’s text.

4056. RecEIPTSs FOR REFUND OF THE PRICE OF mrupoc cuvayopactiKdc 
A 13/2 (16 Feb 71) 14x 18cm 154/5? 


From a rduoc cuyKoAAjcwoc: a group of persons acknowledges on oath to the 
strategus the receipt from the state bankers of the price of the individual amounts of 
mupoc cuvayopactixéc, compulsorily purchased wheat contributed by themselves. For 
this institution see XLI 2958-2968, XLVII 3335 and LVII 3910, and 4063-5 below. 
2962-3 and 2965-7 are parallels for the type of the present document, addressed to 
the strategus, although the format is somewhat different. They are also nearly contem- 
porary, relating to a levy on the harvest of the year before (ordered by the same 
prefect, see g—10 n.), and document the same price level (see 17 n.). 

The setting of the text is the Prosopite nome, not the Oxyrhynchite. Both the 
strategus (Ptolemaeus) and the royal scribe (Protarchus) are additions to the scanty 
listings for that nome; see G. Bastianini and J. Whitehorne, Strateg: and Royal Scribes 
108, 145-6. Neither has known neighbours anywhere near enough to define his term 
of office. Conceivably Ptolemaeus was an Oxyrhynchite and brought this text (and 
others? cf. 4057) home with him. 

No precise date survives. The text must postdate the harvest of the 17th year of 
Antoninus (153/4), and a date in 154/5 is therefore likely; but refunding could be 
substantially delayed. A limit is supplied by the re-use of the back (see below) still 
during the reign of Antoninus. Our information on the chronology of the prefects (see 
g—10n.) does not help to refine the date any further. 

Fragments survive from the adjoining texts on each side. Their content was 
parallel as far as can be seen, although the first item seems to have been differently 
worded in part. We do not print their texts here. Two small detached scraps have not 
been certainly placed; they may possibly belong to the first item. The writing is 
different in each of the three items. The names in 20 ff. in the middle item (published 
here) are probably in a hand (or hands?) different from 1—r19. It is not clear if 1-19 
are indeed all by the same hand; the appearance of the writing changes subtly in the 
course of 18, but this may be due to a change of pen. 

On the back are the much damaged remains of a declaration of the property of 
a deceased person; the death occurred in the past nth year of Antoninus.

4 There must be an error at the beginning of the line, surprisingly (and the more so with this name) 
since this text is otherwise well written. First surviving trace resembles an v or possibly the right vertical of 
v. The false genitive termination is also surprising. 

g-10 For Munatius Felix, praefectus Aegypti, see G. Bastianini, ZPE 17 (1975) 291-2 and 38 (1980) 
82. The levy on the previous year’s harvest was also made on his orders as 2961-3 attest. Here he has gone 
out of office in the interval between the order being given and the present acknowledgement of refund (in 
154/5? see introd.), but no new chronological information can be derived from this; his successor 
(Sempronius Liberalis) was already known to have been in office by 29 August 154. 

10 wyepwovevcay(roc). —cav runs right to the (original) edge of the papyrus sheet; there was certainly 
no room for toc to be written out, and no trace of a raised 7 (—cav’) survives. 

14-15 Just such an émicradya has survived in 4059 below, from the Oxyrhynchite strategus Phocion 
In association with the royal scribe to the dypociwy tpamelirar. 

17 For this price, 8 dr./art., in refunding mupoc cuvayopactixéc cf. the nearly contemporary 2961-7. It 
is of interest that the same rate prevails in two different nomes, although 2961-7 refer to the preceding 
year, which could invalidate the comparison. 

18 (€xarocr@v). For percentage deductions (commonly 63°%,) in comparable circumstances see XLIV 
3194 10 n.; note also LIV 3758 21 n. 

20 Pepwovbic may be a toponym rather than a patronymic; if so, given the size of the lacuna, it is far 
from clear how the line could have run.

4057. ReEpoRT TO THE STRATEGUS 
46 5B.53/E(1—2)B 7X 835, om 154/5? 


This fragment preserves the upper left corner of a report to the strategus from 
the mpaxtopec citix@y, the collectors of corn dues. Its main interest lies in the identity 
of its addressee, the strategus Ptolemaeus. One would naturally suppose this text to 
concern the Oxyrhynchite nome but nothing in the content confirms this and 4 (see n.) 
may argue against it. There is a reference to the produce of the 17th year of Antoninus 
(6), i.e. 153/4, and the papyrus may well date from the following year, 154/5. Apart 
from the uncertain IV 800, no Ptolemaeus is attested in this office at Oxyrhynchus 
near this date. 800, re-edited by A. Martin in CE 54 (1979) 131-3, like the present 
text attests a strategus Ptolemaeus without any surviving indication of his nome, and 
mentions the 16th year of Antoninus (= 152/3), but the papyrus must date to 154 or 
later, since Munatius Felix is ex-prefect (he is last precisely attested in office on 28 
February while his successor Liberalis was in office by 29 August, 154: G. Bastianini, 
XPE 17 (1975) 291-2). Alain Martin had hesitated at an Oxyrhynchite attribution 
and allowed that he might be an Oxyrhynchite holding office elsewhere. (‘The Arsinoite 
tenures of Ptolemaeus, royal scribe and acting-strategus, which Martin cites ought 
however to be different from Ptolemaeus’ tenure as strategus in 800.) 4056 now attests 
a Ptolemaeus as strategus of the Prosopite at much the same date. We cannot be

certain on present evidence, but it is at least a possibility that all three texts (800 and 
4056-7) refer to the same Ptolemaeus, strategus of the Prosopite, an Oxyrhynchite 
who returned home bringing these papers with him. 

Written along the fibres; on the back, two traces at one edge may be line ends 
(across the fibres) if not accidental.

The royal scribe of the Oxyrhynchite nome writes to his colleague in the Theban 
Oasis, rehearsing the gist of a petition he had received regarding a boy slave. The 
slave was seven years old, and had been sold at least three times in his short life. One 
of these transactions took place in the Theban Oasis, hence presumably the present 
involvement of the royal scribe there. The new buyer, who came from the Small Oasis, 
took the boy immediately to Oxyrhynchus and resold him there to his present owner 
the petitioner. 


4058. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE 123 


The text is interesting prosopographically: besides the writer Nilus alias Theon, 
royal scribe of the Oxyrhynchite (see 2 n.) and the addressee Pompyllius (= Pompilius) 
Eudaemon, royal scribe of the Theban Oasis (see 3 n.), the petitioner is Theagenes 
alias Ladicenus, a former city scribe known from elsewhere (see 6 n.). 

The papyrus breaks off before we learn the reason for Theagenes’ petition. Our 
text is a copy of the royal scribe’s letter (it proclaims itself an avriéypagov, 1) and thus 
remained in Oxyrhynchus. The back is blank.

‘Nilus alias Theon, royal scribe of the Oxyrhynchite, to Pompyllius Eudaemon, 
royal scribe of the Oasis of the Thebaid, his dearest colleague, greetings.’ 

‘Theagenes alias Ladicenus, son of Theagenes, from the city of the Oxyrhynchi, 
presented a petition to me showing that he had registered with the scribe of the 
metropolis of the persons here the slave Epaphroditus whom he says he bought in 
accordance with a deed through the office of the agoranomus here in the (month of) 
Phamenoth of the past 21st year from x son of Psenanubis and Tanaabinis and grand- 
son of Path— from x in the Small Oasis, being 7 years old in the present 22nd year, 
as bought by him in accordance with a deed through the record office of Trimithis 
in the Oasis under your control in the (month of) Mecheir of the past 21st year from 
Psenobastis son of Tithoes and Tsenesis and grandson of Psen— from the same 
Trimithis, and bought by him in accordance with a contract in the 16th year of 
Antoninus Caesar the lord...’ 


2 Nilus alias Theon, royal scribe, was already attested by P. Laur. III 63.1 (March/April 159), but 
with only the second part of his name preserved: G. Bastianini and J. Whitehorne, Strateg: and Royal Scribes 
(= Pap. Flor. XV) 143. The identity of his predecessor is not certain. His successor may have been Domitius 
Apollonius in office between 159-163, evidenced by 4059 and 4061 below. 

3 Pompyllius (= Pompilius) Eudaemon, royal scribe of the Theban Oasis, is new. Only one other 
holder of this office has been published, the first-century Soter in P. Lugd.-Bat. XIII 21. 

4’ Odcewe OnBaidoc. Cf. 20-21. For bibliography on the two Oases mentioned in this text (see 16 here 
for the Small Oasis) see A. Calderini—S. Daris, Diz. Geogr. III 378-380; add G. Wagner, Les Oasis d’ Egypte 
(Cairo, 1987). 

6 For Theagenes alias Ladicenus see P. Harr. II 191 (152/3?), 1-2 n., citing XX XI 2564 (154) and 
XLIV 3169. The other references name him Theogenes, and 3169 names him Laodicenus. In 2564 he was 
ypapparevce moXewc. In the present text he is a private citizen, as far as can be seen; indeed he registers his 
slave with one of his own successors in the office, at a date (shortly?) after Phamenoth (Feb.—March) 158.

26 3B.51/F(3-7)a 26.7 X 5.1 cm Between 159 and 163 


A horizontal strip with parts of three items from a réuoc cuyKoAAjcuroc. The first 
item is an order from Phocion, strategus of the Oxyrhynchite (see 4060 40 n.), to the 


4059. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE 125 


state bankers to make a payment to some persons who had been nominated to a 
liturgy, as we learn from the second item where the three persons involved make a 
declaration or application. The third item was an order to the bankers similar to the 
first item, and perhaps the ‘file’ consisted of orders to the bankers by Phocion inter- 
leaved as it were with the relevant documentation. The hand is different in each item, 
and the backs are blank throughout. Apart from the joins in making the ropoc, there 
is an original manufacturer’s kollesis three-quarters of the way across col. i (through 
w of dnpociwy in 1). 

The second item lacks any addressee’s name at the top. I suspect that the more 
or less horizontal top edge of the papyrus represents the original top edge of the roll 
(unlike XLVI 3276-3284 for example). The narrow top margin of the second item 
suggests that it was trimmed to fit; the addressee’s name may have been trimmed off, 
or this item is a copy which was never headed by an addressee’s name anyway. 

Besides Phocion, the papyrus supplies the name of a new Oxyrhynchite royal 
scribe, Domitius Apollonius. The text cannot be dated other than loosely by the known 
dates for Phocion, i.e. 159-161 (see 4060 4on.), limited at the beginning by the 
prosopography of the royal scribes. Domitius Apollonius may be the direct successor 
of Nilus alias Theon still in office in March—April 159 (P. Laur. III 63.1), for whom 
see 4058 2 n. above. Domitius Apollonius was probably still in office on 30 July 163, 
see 4061 below. The next certain holder of the office after him is Dionysius, royal 
scribe and acting strategus on 1g April 165 (XVIII 2182).

4060. OrricIAL CORRESPONDENCE 
26 3B.50/G(1)—(9) Approx. 135 x 28 cm c. June—July, 161 


Five columns preserve copies of correspondence incoming to the strategus of the 
Oxyrhynchite nome. The roll has been cut off sharply on the left, and deteriorates 
before breaking off on the right. The Oxyrhynchite strategus is Phocion, already 
known as in office in 159 (G. Bastianini and J. Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 
93); 4060 provides a new latest date. 4059 above provides further evidence for him. 
His correspondents are strategi (and one royal scribe acting-strategus) of other nomes 
scattered through Egypt. The bulk of the correspondence is concerned with searching 
(negative, in all cases!) for wanted persons. A section of one letter (42-56) relates to 
the sale of the confiscated property of a former tax-farmer. Every one of the letters 
indicates a response to higher instructions. Two of the letters contain (1-6, 56-61) 
provisions in case Phocion should have on file copies of outgoing letters that should 
have had a response from the writers of these sections of 4060. 

It will be clear already that a primary interest of this text is prosopographical. 
As well as a network of officials at the strategus/royal scribe level, with links with 
other texts in this volume, 4060 attests some senior officials: Volusius Maecianus, 
praefectus Aegyptt (10 n.), Domitius Peregrinus, former procurator ad Mercurium (new; 
42n.), and Manlius Severus, procurator ad Mercurium (new; 123 n.). Strategi, besides 
Phocion (40 n.), are Callicles (Memphite, new; 3 n.), Ammonius (Nesyt, new; 40 n.), 
Apollonides (Perithebas, new; 69n.), Calpurnius Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus 
(Onuphite, new; 82n.), and Chaeremon(?) (Delta Diopolite, new; 121n.). For 
Vegetus (nome unknown, but new) see the introduction further below. Also new is 
Horigenes, royal scribe and acting-strategus of the Heliopolite (97 n.). 

The dates of the original letters run from Payni (28th, line 91; day not read, line 
65) to Epeiph (3rd, line 78; 5th, line 14) of year 1 (of Aurelius and Verus) = ap 161. 
The original roll, of which 4060 is a copy, was assembled with each new entry being 
glued on to the left of the previous entry. The date that this was done was recorded 
in an annotation at the head of each entry, and later on item numbers were assigned 
starting from the left (dates Epeiph (120(?), 96, 81, 68) to Mesore (39); item numbers 
preserved are 35 (line 39) to 40 (line 120) with no entry number 37 in our copy (see 
81n.)). The dates thus get earlier as the roll proceeds, the order being that of the 
glueing not that of writing the letters, the dates of which are slightly out of order, see 
above. These data are preserved at second hand in the present papyrus, a copy which 
does not reproduce the column/item layout of the original téwoc cuyKoAAjcuoc. It is 
nevertheless surprising to find the glueing dates entered by a different hand; I have 
no explanation for this phenomenon. 

Combining the information we are given about place and date of writing of the 
various letters and the date of their incorporation in the original touoc provides some 


128 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


useful data on travel within Egypt. On this topic see J. D. Thomas, CE 46 (1971) 178 
and D. W. Rathbone, ZPE 62 (1986) 102-3. It will be best to tabulate our new data: 


From Writing date Attached to répoc Days 
in Oxyrhynchus 
Delta Diopolite lost Epeiph 8? 
Heliopolite lost Epeiph 8? 
Onuphite Payni 28 Epeiph 8? 10 
mept OnBac Epeiph 3 Epeiph 10? y 
Nesyt Payni Mesore 31 (see below) 
Memphite Epeiph 5(?) [Mesore? | 26 (see below) 


The time between writing and attachment to the royoc is a maximum time for the 
travel, which could be reduced if there were an interval between writing and despatch 
or between receipt and attachment to the rowoc. For Nesyt, the days of the month 
are uncertain; the period of 31 days is the minimum time between writing and attach- 
ment to the téuoc. The same consideration applies to the Memphite example; the 
date of attachment to the roqoc is lost, but we suppose it to be the same day or later 
than the Nesyt entry. The extra time taken for the last two entries is striking. Were 
the required searches carried out before the new document was attached to the toyoc? 
If so, the large number of persons in the Memphite example to be searched for, and 
in the Nesyt example the nature of the information sought, could contribute to the 
longer times. On the other hand, in the Onuphite and Peritheban examples the 
interval is so short that it seems unlikely that it could also include an effective search. 

The measurements given above are only approximate, because of the broken 
state of the papyrus. The papyrus preserves five joins, but the one in col. 11 is completely 
obscured under the strengthening strip (see below); a probable sheet edge is discernible 
on the other side. This plus the damaged edges of the different sections of the papyrus 
make calculation of sheet widths difficult. The one directly measurable width (visible 
sheet area) is 25 cm; the three other instances must be approximately the same (two 
sheets, from col. i—col. iii, measure 50 cm). 

There remains a considerable quantity of small fragments and débris which I 
have been unable to locate within the confines of the stretch of text transcribed in 
this volume. The only detail of new interest they contain is the name Vegetus, occurring 
at a point (following a xo’ notation) which makes it clear that he will be a strategus 
(or royal scribe, perhaps acting-strategus) of an unknown nome. This cannot be 
Vegetus known as Arsinoite strategus 164—167, since the date here must be around 
June-July 161 and Vegetus’ Arsinoite tenure cannot go back that early, but it will 
perhaps be the same man holding an earlier appointment in his career. 

On the back are the final nine columns of a roll of official correspondence and 


4060. OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE 129 


lists, partly nominations to liturgies from a comogrammateus, the publication of which 
is deferred to a future volume; the date Mecheir 196 follows the final entry. These 
are written the same way up and thus in reverse direction to Phocion’s correspondence 
on the front. A consequence of this re-use for the text on the front is the ubiquitous 
repair or strengthening patches, their extent not always easily defined, which have 
been a widespread obstruction in reading the text. It has been possible to lift these 
patches in places, enabling readings to be made which would not be visible on a 
photograph. Elsewhere obscured writing has been treated as if in lacuna. The corres- 


pondence and lists on the back are also copies, although written by more than one 
hand.

(Col. i) [Since it happens that by the fault of] the carriers some get mislaid, you 
will do well, brother, if you have a letter wanting a response from me, to send to the 
strategus appointed to succeed me, Callicles, that it may obtain the necessary response. 
And inform both the royal scribe and eclogistes of the nome under your charge in 
order that they may do the same if they have such letters. If any persons holding land 
in the Memphite nome have been found with you, you will notify the said strategus 
succeeding me so that he may take thought for the exaction. The persons listed below, 
some of them having fled to escape public service, the others having been named on 
charges and having disappeared, were ordered by Volusius Maecianus, the most glori- 
ous prefect, to be searched for. Wherefore I have written to you that you may make 
a diligent search for them in your area also and send any of them that you find to

together with Apollonius son of Gaius of the tax on pounding(?) lentils; and he wished 
us to make a valuation of it in the light of its present condition and appearance and 
the worth of its revenues and then advertise it for sale, and to declare whatever bids 
we received, meantime annexing to the fiscus the revenues accruing from the property.

1 The upper margin is largely obscured by strengthening strips, with scattered remains of second 
century cursive. Similar strengthening patches, often with writing, occur intermittently over the surface 
elsewhere. Some further jottings are on the principal surface, not on strengthening strips. The applied strips 
are sometimes so fine that it is not always easy to be certain whether one is looking at the original surface 
or an applied surface. 

1-36 This is from the Memphite strategus, as may be determined from the village names in 26 and 
27. He is presumably just about to leave office, see 3 (for karacrabév7i see N. Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 
(= Pap. Flor. X1) 61), and I suppose that Callicles (see 3 n.) has been appointed, not that he has already 
been installed in office so that his predecessor would be writing the present letter while out of office. This 
is the only letter in the present series written via a Bon8dc (13; but cf. 772), which might have something 
to do with the strategus’ imminent departure. 

2 €[a]v Exne émc[ro]Ajv. That is, a copy on file, the original of which had been sent to the Memphite 
strategus and had not yet been answered. Cf. 59. 

3 Callicles, strategus-elect of the Memphite nome, is new. He will have been in office (soon?) after 
29(?) June 161, see 14. His nearest known predecessor was Cephalon, royal scribe and acting strategus the 
year before, see G. Bastianini and J. Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes (= Pap. Flor. XV) 79; his nearest 
known successor Apollonius, see zbzd., must be displaced forward slightly to admit Callicles. 

5 The Oxyrhynchite royal scribe at this date (29(?) June 161) cannot be certainly identified. 
Candidates could be Nilus alias Theon known in 159 (Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strateg: and Royal Scribes 
143, with 4058 above) and Domitius Apollonius known at an uncertain date between 159 and 163 (4059) 
and probably still in office on 30 July 163, 4061. 

6 [Meudeirn]. Cf. 1-36 n. above. 

10 Volusius Maecianus, praefectus Aegypti. The dates for him furnished by the present papyrus (he 
recurs in 71, 84 and gq), all in June 161, fall within his span known from elsewhere, February-November 
161. See G. Bastianini, <PE 17 (1975) 295. 

13 AmodAwviov Bonf(od). See 1-36 n. The possible successor of the strategus-elect Callicles (see 3) as 
strategus of the Memphite nome was an Apollonius, see Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strateg: and Royal Scribes 
79, but a connection is probably unlikely. 

14 There are two untranscribed diagonal strokes in this line, a short one midway between e€’ and eict 
dé, and a longer one 2.5 cm after eéci dé. 

15 gvAaxec. For dvAaxec see Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 51-2. The names of approximately 43 
defaulters follow, at least 17 of them from villages (villages are listed in 25, 26, 27 and 30). 

16 The correct expansion (nominative or genitive) and grouping of names in the long list that follows 
is not always clear-cut, and here and there the transcription and translation given may be somewhat 
arbitrary. The consistent use of vidc where the mother only is named has been helpful. 

19 Icapnce appears to be a previously unrecorded name. 

25 Tov[.. ]wc. No village that will fit these traces appears to be recorded for the Memphite nome. 

26 kwpnc Tacxpt. See A. Calderini-S. Daris, Diz. geogr. 1V 366, locating this village in the Memphite 
nome, and the article by J. Yoyotte cited there, Rev. d’Eg. 14 (1962) 89-93; W. Clarysse, Stud. Hell. 24 
(1980), map facing p. 112. Cf. 27 n. below. 

27 Cxpu. See the article by Yoyotte cited above (26 n.). Calderini and Daris, op. cit IV 292 and 366, 
include this village under Tacxpv, cf. 26 n. above, but the separate entry here indicates that we are dealing 
with two separate localities. This papyrus is our latest reference for both villages. 

28 A@nviw[v seems inevitable despite the damaged letter. The reading is clear at the end of this line 
and the beginning of the next, but Jv here is puzzling. 


140 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


29 ‘E8p[yo(uc). Cf. 33. ‘E8pic is proposed on the analogy of A@pyc, but the name, however aspirated, 
appears to be an addendum onomastuis. . Of 

The high horizontal that appears after the lacuna and abbreviates a name lost in it may have been 
extended, so reducing the letter count within the lacuna. 

30 Axw{ is problematical. A personal or place name is expected. 6 |potw(c) will have been preceded 
by a village name, cf. 25, 27. The lacuna is long for a single village name beginning Axo to precede (and 
no such place appears to be recorded for the Memphite nome); perhaps two linked villages were named. 
For the absence of «eye before the village name cf. 27; for its inclusion cf. 25, 26. Another possibility 
might be that Axw[ begins the name of Colluthus’ grandfather, but against this is the space separating 
Axw{ from what precedes. Axw[ can hardly begin a nominative personal name; the lacuna is too narrow 
to contain the rest of the name, patronymic and village name. 

33 ‘E@pyo(uc). Cf. 29 n. 

39 KoA(AnOév)? It is curious that what was surely an annotation to the original répoc cuyKoAAncy.oc 
features on the present copy roll in a different hand, and doubly curious, in that it was then bracketed for 
deletion, if that is what the brackets signify here. Regarding the date, see 68 n. 

40 Ammonius, strategus of Nesyt, is new. He gives his date of appointment in line 56. That passage 
is much damaged, but I think it should be read as year 1, Phaophi= 28 September—27 October, 160, the 
date (correctly in the last year of Antoninus) being assigned retrospectively to the first year of Marcus 
Aurelius. Space (there is room for one digit only) and traces exclude reading e.g. 24 (his last year) or 23 
Antoninus as the year figure, while the month traces will not admit Phamenoth or Pharmuthi. The date 
the strategus wrote his letter is Payni (line 65; we have been unable to read the day) = May/June, 161. 
Only one name is recorded for Nesyt by Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 82 (cf. 139), 
from thirty-three years later. 

For Nesyt see Calderini-Daris, Diz. geogr. II] 345. 

Phocion, strategus of the Oxyrhynchite nome. His name (partly lost here) recurs in lines 69, 83, 98 
and 121. The papyrus attests dates from Payni through to Mesore, 161. Phocion is well attested, see 
Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 93, but 4060 now provides the latest date for him and 
allows us to discard the suggestion crp(atnyyjcavtoc) for P. Laur. III 63.3. He is also evidenced in the 
present volume by the undated 4059 and there may be a further reference to him (out of office) in 4061. 
His last known predecessor may have been Athenodorus, possibly in office on 20 December 156, see J.-J. 
Aubert, BASP 28 (1991) 101-120. The next attested strategus after Phocion is Calpurnius Artemidorus 
alias Ptolemaeus, in office on 30 July 163 (4061, and cf. 82 n. below). 

42 Domitius Peregrinus, former procurator ad Mercurium, is new. Other holders of this office are listed 
in H.-G. Pflaum, Les Carriéres III 1089 and in his 1982 supplement, 140; add Aurelius Victor, XLVII 3363 
(c. 199). The current holder of this office (date uncertain, but probably June 161) is named in line 123, 
Manlius Severus. 

43 It is not certain who was strategus of the Mendesian nome at this date. For the nearest names 
each side of then, see Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 80-1. 

The proximity of Nesyt (40) to the Mendesian nome may be sufficient explanation as to why the 
Nesyt strategus was early involved in the confiscation and sale procedure. Perhaps it was already known 
that the defaulter’s property lay in both nomes. We can only guess at how the labour of further spreading 
the instructions of the procurator ad Mercurium to the other nomes (53~4) was shared.

routine agricultural operation should be taxed at all, let alone independently. Was the tax levied when it 
was performed at a special place, e.g. a state-run threshing floor? For ¢axod epevétc I have found no direct 
parallel, but Suidas épecxra is cited with reference to dcmpia, and écmpia include ¢axdc, see P. Teb. I g and

68 It is initially surprising that the réuoc apparently contained no entries between this date (Epeiph 
10?) and an unread date in Mesore (line 39). This can hardly indicate that no correspondence was received 
in this period; what came in must have been attached to a different roll or rolls.

69 Apollonides, strategus of Perithebas, is new. Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 
107 record no holders of this office between 141 and the third(?) century. Apollonides wrote this letter on 
Epeiph 3=27 June, 161, see line 78.

77 The rest of the line is partly obscured by overlaid papyrus pieces, cf. the introd. above (ad fin.) 
and 1 n, It is not clear how far, if at all, 77 continued beyond Clapamiwvoc. 13 above also has a name at 
this point. Was Sarapion another Bon6dc? 

81 There is no item 37 in this papyrus. There would seem to be two possibilities: a) the number was 
inadvertently omitted when the original téuoc was ‘paginated’, or b) item 37 was present in the original 
Touoc but was omitted in making the present copy. 

82 Calpurnius Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus, strategus of the Onuphite nome, is new. He wrote this 
letter on Payni 28=22 June, 161 (see line gt). Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 86 
record only one strategus of this nome, in A.D. 108. 

It will be the same Calpurnius Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus who appears two years later as a new 
Oxyrhynchite strategus, see 4061-2 below.

levied or the purchase of which was financed in this way. Presumably cord made from animal sinew is 
meant, to serve a variety of uses. 

For mapagvAaky see Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 42. 

g2 The sequence of four names is unexpected, but the small uplifted omicron in ayv° and the apparent 
absence of delta (there are some ink marks, well above the line) seem to exclude an otherwise tempting

present roll. 

97 Horigenes, royal scribe, acting-strategus of the Heliopolite nome, is new. Bastianini and 
Whitehorne, Strateg: and Royal Scribes 62 record two strategi for this nome, from the first and third centuries; 
no royal scribe of this nome was previously known. The date on which Horigenes wrote this letter is much 
damaged, line 108, but is likely to have been in Payni (161), cf. the tabulated dates in the introduction above. 

98 7a. The article at this point in the other letters in this roll has iota adscript (restored in 83). In 
fact, iota adscript is regularly used in these formal address sections of the letters, and ignored elsewhere, a

next possible earlier date—Payni 28—could as easily be restored here. 

121 Chaeremon(?), strategus of the Delta Diopolite nome, is new. No other certain strategus of this 
nome is known, see Bastianini and Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 60. The date on which his letter 
was written is lost but is likely to have been in Payni (161), cf. the tabulated dates in the introduction above. 

123 Manlius Severus, procurator ad Mercurium, is new. For other known holders of this office see 42 n. 
above. The date of the Delta Diopolite strategus’ letter is lost, but a glance at the tabulated writing dates 
and ropoc-attachment dates in the introduction above will indicate that a date in Payni (161) is probable.

142 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 
4061 OrricIAL CORRESPONDENCE 
A 228/28 8.8 x 13 cm 30 July 163 


The main interest of this badly broken fragment is prosopographical. We learn 
that Calpurnius Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus, strategus of the Onuphite nome in 161 
(4060 82 n.), went on to hold the same office in the Oxyrhynchite nome some two 
years later. That his tenure here is Oxyrhynchite is not specifically stated but could 
be deduced from line 4 (and note line 6 also), see below. The undated fragment 4062 
below usefully corroborates both his Oxyrhynchite tenure and his full nomenclature. 

The Domitius referred to in 4 might be expected to be royal scribe; the 
Oxyrhynchite royal scribe shortly before this date was Domitius Apollonius, see 4059. 
There is mention of a Phocion in 6; Calpurnius Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus’ immedi- 
ate predecessor as Oxyrhynchite strategus may have been Phocion still in office in 161 
(4060), and it may be he who is referred to here. 

The reconstruction, with the text arranged with ecthesis in | and 4, seems plaus- 
ible but is not certain. The elements of the imperial titulature in 11—13 should be 
reliable but these lines could be otherwise divided, and it is not certain that the 
strategus Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus was also given his first name Capurnius, al- 
though he has it in our other evidence for him (4060 82 and 4062 1). 

Content is elusive. The hand is the same throughout. A letter to the strategus is 
followed by a letter of the same strategus and the royal scribe(?) to an ex-gymnasiarch 
(who may have borne other titles now lost). This letter is dated, and after its date 
clause it goes on apparently to cite various extracts from reports of legal proceedings, 
but the fragment breaks off at this point. 

No kollesis is preserved. The back is blank.

4062. DocuMENT ADDRESSED TO A STRATEGUS 
29 4B.44/K(5-7)a 7.2x 8.5 cm c. 163 


The principal interest of this badly abraded fragment is that it supplies the full 
name of the strategus Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus already met with in 4061 above, 
confirms (see 5) his tenure as Oxyrhynchite (deduced in 4061 but not specifically 
stated) and by supplying his full name allows us to appreciate that this will have been 
the same Calpurnius Artemidorus alias Ptolemaeus who had already been strategus 
of the Onuphite nome some two years earlier, as we learn from 4060 above. 

An approximate date only is possible by comparison with 4061 above.

4063-4067. DocUMENTsS FROM THE ARABIAN NOME 


These five closely contemporary documents, plus 4070 of c. Ap/208 below, relate 
to the Arabian nome. The texts in the present group, with the exception of 4065 of 
which the top is lost, are all addressed to Ammonius, strategus. The latest of the 
group, 4067 (16 January 184), is addressed to him via the royal scribe, Sarapion alias 
Sarapammon, described as acting strategus (dvadexdpevoc Kal Ta KaTA THY cTpaTnyiav). 
Obviously this was just a temporary expedient (cf. J. Whitehorne, ANVRW II 10.1 
602-4) since the document is still addressed to Ammonius in the first place. These 
names are welcome newcomers to the thin ranks of Arabian prosopography; indeed, 
there is only one entry in G. Bastianini—J. Whitehorne, Strateg: and Royal Scribes of 
Roman Egypt (1987) 19, namely Sarapion alias Phanias from IX 1197 (revised R. A. 
Coles and P. J. Sijpesteijn, CE 61 (1986) 108-110). The date should be given there 
as ‘4-12 August, 208(?)’. Sarapion alias Phanias recurs in 4070 below (assignable only 
to ‘c. 208’); the recurrence of his name in a text found at Oxyrhynchus must strengthen 
the probability that he was an Oxyrhynchite, and the same may well be true of 
Ammonius. For this phenomenon see J. Whitehorne, ANRW II to.1 601. 

All of the group 4063-7 are concerned with liturgies; the earliest, 4063, is a 
liturgist’s oath and the other four are nominations. 4063—5 all concern tupdc cuvayopac- 
tuxoc, for which see 4063 introd. 


4063-4067. DOCUMENTS FROM THE ARABIAN NOME 145 


The new texts are instructive for the topography of the region. More specific 
topics are reserved for the notes on the texts at the relevant points; we present here a 
general view of the overall situation. For the history of the 8th nome of Lower Egypt 
(Heroopolite) and the 20th nome (Arabia), with the associated problems of the 
Phagroriopolite and Arsinoite II, see H. Gauthier, Les nomes d’Egypte (Cairo, 1935), 
109-10, 125-9, 138-42; P. Montet, Géographie de l’ Egypte ancienne (Paris, 1957), 205-17; 
W. Helck, Die altdégyptischen Gaue (Wiesbaden, 1974), 172-4, 197-8 and Lexikon der 
Agyptologie 11 (Wiesbaden, 1977), s.v. Gaue, 397 (8. u. ag. Gau) and gor (20. u. ag. 
Gau). 

At the period of these texts (Ap 183/4), the Arabian nome would appear to have 
covered a roughly crescent-shaped area, reaching from the eastern bank of the 
Bubastite (Pelusiac) branch of the Nile (at the mouth of the Wadi Tumilat in the 
south west, as far as Phacusae in the north) via the Wadi Tumilat (i.e. along Trajan’s 
Canal) to at least Thaubasthis (4067 8) as its maximum north-east extent, and then 
perhaps curving south to the Gulf of Suez. This is a large area for one nome and its 
administration must have been difficult, but much of it of course was probably only 
thinly populated, and in terms simply of population the whole area may not have 
differed so much from other nomes. Some of this area belonged to other nomes at 
different periods; we discuss the claims of the Heroopolite, Phagroriopolite and 
Arsinoite II below. 

The capital of the Arabian nome at this time was Phacusae, 7 ®axoveit@v mdXuc 
(4063 21-22, 4064 5), which agrees with what we know from Ptolemy, Geogr. IV 5. 24 
(for the other occurrences and variants of the name, see 4063 21-2 n.). Despite diver- 
gent opinion going back to Naville, Goshen and the Shrine of Saft el-Henneh (Mem. Eg. 
Expl. Fund 6: London, 1887), and still echoed in recent works, e.g. A Guide to the Zenon 
Archwe I] (=P. Lugd.-Bat. XXI/B) 500, according to which the city occupied the site 
of modern Saft el-Henna, Phacusae should be identifiable with modern Faqs, even 
though the identification cannot be archaeologically documented and is based on 
phonetic similarity combined with the difficulty of finding a satisfactory Arabic etymo- 
logy (J. de Rougé, Géographie ancienne de la Basse Egypte (Paris, 1891) 131-9). If we 
locate Phacusae at Faqus, we are forced to conclude that there had been a change in 
the location of the metropolis of the nome. In Pharaonic times and still in the Ptolemaic 
period, as the Edfu temple list shows (Edfou I 335), the 2oth nome of Lower Egypt 
(Igbt, ‘the East’), i.e. Arabia, had as its capital Pr-Spdw, located with certainty by 
Naville’s 1885 excavations at Saft el-Henna, around 30 km south west of Faqus, in 
the plain between Zagazig (Bubastis) and the western end of the Wadi Tumilat 
(cf. P. Montet, Géographie 206 ff.). Besides, Strabo mentions Phacusae as a xwuy 
(17.1.26; C805), although one should perhaps not expect precise administrative ter- 
minology from Strabo, see P. Pédech, ‘La géographie urbaine chez Strabon’, in Ancient 
Society 2 (1971) 241. Of Pr-Spdw/Saft el-Henna we know neither the Greek nor the 
Latin name. The identification of Saft el-Henna with ApaBia in A. Calderini, Diz. 


146 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


geogr. | 2.180 is the product of confusion. Cf. H. Kees, RE XIX.2 1611.53 ff.; S. Timm, 
Das christlich-koptische Agypten in arabischer Zeit ii (Wiesbaden, 1984) 924. 

The greater part of Trajan’s Canal lay within the Arabian nome; thus it is not 
surprising that contracts for working on it (4070 below) come within the competence 
of the strategus of the nome. 4070 indicates that the metropolis Phacusae lay close to 
(epi) the canal. Modern Faqis lies some 30 km from where the nearest point of the 
canal would have been on its route north-eastwards turning into the Wadi Tumilat. 
We are inclined to propose that at the point where the canal bent eastwards there 
was a branch which continued north-eastwards, passing Phacusae and giving access 
to the north-eastern Delta, and that this branch was also known as Trajan’s Canal: 
cf. 4070 8 n. 

Areas of the Arabian nome, as it is revealed by our new texts, had belonged to 
different nomes at different times, which we shall now consider. 

From our new texts we see that the Arabian nome now included Heroopolis 
(4067 7), Pithom in the Bible, which had been the capital of the 8th nome of Lower 
Egypt, called Pr-’Itm Tkw (or simply Tkw) in the hieroglyphic sources, []adtovpoc 7 
ApaBin moc in Herodotus (II 158), today Tell el-Mas’chuta, near the eastern end of 
the Wadi Tumilat (cf. P. Montet, Géographie I 219 ff.; H. Goedicke, Lex. d. Ag. VI, 
s. vv. Tell el-Maschuta and Tell er-Retabe; E. Kettenhofen, Orientalia Lovaniensia 
Periodica 20 (1989) 75-97; A. B. Lloyd, Herodotus Book II (Leiden, 1988), pp. 154-5). 
The Heroopolite is further included in the Edfu and Dendera temple lists, and is also 
mentioned by Pliny (VH V 50) but as the alternative name for another nome (cf. 
below). By the period of the present texts, however, Heroopolis is clearly a village 
(4067 7), not a nome capital, and its territory has been absorbed into the Arabian 
nome; the Heroopolite nome can no longer exist, and indeed Ptolemy does not list it 
(Geogr. IV 5.24). 

The 8th nome of Lower Egypt, i.e. the Heroopolite, is attested from at least the 
5th dynasty and would have stretched for some 50 km from west to east, from the 
Pelusiac branch of the Nile (at the level of Abu Hammad) across the Wadi Tumilat 
as far as the isthmus of Suez. It was not until the second half of the 8th century Bc 
that the western part of this area was made into a nome in its own right, the 20th of 
the lists, i.e. Arabia, of which the capital as already said was Pr-Spdw (Saft el-Henna). 
This situation was still valid in the Ptolemaic period: the 8th nome survived as the 
Heroopolite with its capital Heroopolis (=Tkw) and the 20th nome as Arabia, even 
though we do not know the Greek name for its capital Pr-Spdw. Prior to the time 
when Ptolemy drew up his Geography during the second century AbD, there was a double 
change (whether simultaneous or not we do not know): the two nomes were united 
as one again, which kept the name Arabia (i.e. the name of the less ancient nome), 
and the capital of this reunified area was established further north on the Pelusiac 
branch of the Nile, at Phacusae (Faqus). Our new papyri reflect this situation. 

In such a picture it is difficult to find a place for the Phagroriopolite nome, 


4063-4067. DOCUMENTS FROM THE ARABIAN NOME 147 


mentioned by Strabo. After writing of the canal leading to the Red Sea at Arsinoe, 
he adds (17.1.26; C804—5): wAnciov dé THe Apcuwdnc Kal ) Trav Hpwwy écti woduc Kal 7

Strabo, then, regards Phagroriopolis and its nome as located near the Gulf of Suez, 
and also near the course of the canal running from Phacusae to Arsinoe on the Red 
Sea—the same canal, of course, as was later known as Trajan’s Canal (4070 8 n.), 
Other mentions of Phagroriopolis are even less precise regarding its location. 
From XI 1380 46-7 (®payovpwv moAex), of the first or second century AD, one can 
deduce only a probable general location in the eastern part of the Delta: cf. the introd. 
there, p. 194. In Anon. Ravenn. (III 2, 130.9 Pinder-Parthy), Phagorior is inserted in 
a list which includes (besides other unidentifiable localities) Thenis (=Tanis?), Casston 
(= Mons Casius?), Olumna (=Clysma?), Phaguse (= Phacusae), Eron (=Heroopolis), 
Memphisin (= Memphis?), Heraceupolis (=Heracleopolis Parva?), Pelusion; it is clear 
that here too we are dealing with places all located more or less in the area of the 
eastern Delta. According to Daressy (cf. Gauthier, Nomes 104), Phagroriopolis will 
have been situated in the Wadi Tumilat, not far from its western end. See also H. K. 
Brugsch, Dictionnaire géographique de l’ancienne Egypte (Leipzig, 1879-80), 856-8; 
F. Gomaa, Due libyschen Fiirstentiimer des Deltas (Wiesbaden, 1974), 57 n. 48, 105-6. 
On the basis of a suggestion going back to Gauthier, Nomes 104, W. Helck, Gaue 
173 with Karte 8 upheld the identification of the Phagroriopolite with the Heroopolite, 
and identified Pr-Grr on the stele of Piankhi (c. 730 Bc) with Phagroriopolis and 
Heroopolis. The text of Strabo (17.1.26; C805), mentioning the two latter cities separ- 
ately, is against their identification, as is Anon. Ravenn. (p. 130.9) listing both 
Phagorior and Eron. Strabo may be unreliable in this respect. In the same section in 
which Heroopolis and Phagroriopolis are separately mentioned, Arsinoe and 
Cleopatris are mentioned as if they are two different cities; yet just before (17.1.25; 
C804), writing of the Red Sea outlet of the canal coming from the Nile, Strabo places 
it kata 70Aw Apcwvonv jv évror KAeorrarpidba Kadodcw. Cf. Gauthier, Nomes 128 nn. 6, 7. 
In an Edfu temple list (Edfou I 335 line 11) it is said that in the 20th nome of Lower 
Egypt (=Arabia) “3dw fishes, i.e. mullets, were considered sacred. Cf. I. Gamer- 
Wallert, Fische und Fischkulte im alten Agypten (Wiesbaden, 1970), 101-7. With the mullet 
may be identified the fish daypwpoc, dv kal Paypov Kadodcw (Strabo 17.2.4; C823. For 
the daypoc see D. J. Brewer and R. F.Friedman, Fish and fishing in ancient Egypt (1989) 
53-4). This fish was also worshipped elsewhere in Egypt, but it is obviously easy to 
associate the word ¢aypwp.ioc and Phagroriopolis. Phagroriopolis, then, could be ‘the 
city where the fishes called ¢aypwpvo. were considered sacred’; and if this city, in the 
Ptolemaic period, was situated in the area of the 20th nome, identification with 
Heroopolis is untenable and its location should rather be sought in the area already 


148 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


indicated by Daressy (see above). Since a Phagroriopolite nome does not figure in the 
Edfu temple lists nor in other late Ptolemaic lists (the so-called 21st nome, with the 
fish ‘jn as its symbol, should not have any bearing on this issue; cf. Gauthier, Vomes 
69 ff.; Helck, Gaue 185-6; Gamer-Wallert, Fische 106-7), and is mentioned neither by 
Pliny nor Ptolemy, Strabo may have used the name ®aypwpioroAiry¢ to indicate what 
at his time was correctly the Arabian nome (this idea is already in A. H. M. Jones, 
The Cities of the Eastern Roman Provinces? (Oxford, 1971) 299, even if the same author 
then places Phagroriopolis more to the east, by the Bitter Lakes, thus in the territory 
of the Heroopolite); parallel with this, Baypwpidoduc could be the Greek name of its 
capital Pr-Spdw. One can perhaps recognize a link between the root ¢daypwp—and the 
city of Pr-Spdw through the well-known P3-Grr, prince of Pr-Spdw (c. 667 Bc), 
cf. Helck, Gaue 198, but this introduces us to a different (frog) etymology for 
Phagroriopolis. Certainly, if it is admitted that Phagroriopolis could be Pr-Spdw, the 
identification (on the same ‘frog’ etymology) of Phagroriopolis with Pr-Grr (Helck, 
Gaue 173) can no longer be maintained, inasmuch as on the stele of Piankhi Pr-Spdw 
and Pr-Grr figure as separate cities. S. Timm, Das christlich-koptische Agypten in arabischer 
Xeit ii (Wiesbaden, 1984) 940-944 proposes to identify Phagroriopolis with the Arabic 
al-Farragin (=@pay@uc), in the northern Delta; but, apart from the phonological 
problems, such a location will not well accord with the evidence of Strabo. The 
administrative situation, then, as envisaged by Strabo would conform with what had 
been the situation previously, with ®aypwpidmoduc (Pr-Spdw) as capital of the 
DaypwpioToAXiryc voude (Arabia, the goth nome) and more to the east Hpwwv roXuc 
as capital of the Heroopolite nome (the 8th nome). The reunification of the two nomes 
and the transfer of the capital of the reunited area to Phacusae will have taken place 
before the mid-second century AD, when Ptolemy composed his Geography. The reuni- 
fication may already have taken place by the time of Trajan, given that none of the 
so-called ‘nome coins’ attests the Heroopolite, while there are several examples from 
year 13 of Trajan (109/110) and year 11 of Hadrian (126/7) in which figure the name 
and image of ApaBia: cf. G. Dattari, Monete imperiali greche | (Cairo, 1901), 402 
(nos. 6204-5); J. Vogt, Die alexandrimschen Miinzen (Stuttgart, 1924), 61n. 319; 
A. Geissen and W. Weiser, Katalog Alexandrinischer Kaisermiinzen 4 (= Papyrologica 
Colomensia 5; Opladen, 1983), 132 no. 3380; J. Lallemand, CE 38 (1963) 310. This, 
however, is an argumentum ex silentio; but cf. further below. 

Another nome still is potentially involved in this area, the “other” Arsinoite, 
mentioned by Pliny (VH V 50): Arsinoitae duo sunt; hi et Memphites usque ad summum 
Delta perveniunt, cur sunt contermim ex Africa duo Oasitae. Quidam ex his aliqua nomina permutant 
et substituunt alios nomos, ut Heroopoliten et Crocodilopoliten. This topic is well discussed by 
Gauthier, Nomes 109-10, 125-9, 140. Gauthier’s preferred solution (128-9), that the 
“other” Arsinoite is an alternative name for the Heroopolite, current in the first 
century AD, is accepted by Helck, Gauwe 173. This Arsinoite nome would include the 
port of Arsinoe. There is no suggestion that this Arsinoite was a yet further subdivision 


4063. SWORN DECLARATION OF A LITURGIST 149 


of our area. If the Arsinoite II were to be identified with the Heroopolite, Gauthier 
supposes (129)—in explanation of Pliny’s usque ad summum Delta perveniunt—that this 
administrative area may have extended to the south west (from the western end of 
the Wadi Tumilat?) as far as la région avoisinant le sommet du Delta. Such an extent for 
the Heroopolite will not easily fit in with the area of the 20th nome/the Arabian nome. 
Gauthier’s alternative (127), that Pliny’s two Arsinoites= the two strategus-divisions 
of the Fayum (for this in the first century ap see G. Bastianini and J. Whitehorne, 
Strategi and Royal Scribes 21, 39 and 43), would leave the Heroopolite with its alternative 
name still to be discovered. If by the Heroopolite Pliny meant an alternative name 
for Arabia (pace Gauthier, 140), this would give us a lerminus ante quem for the reunifica- 
tion earlier than Ptolemy and our second-century texts in this volume, i.e. around 
AD 77, when Book V of the Naturalis Historia was composed; cf. Gauthier, Nomes 105.

4063. Sworn DECLARATION OF A LITURGIST 
46 5B.51/G(3-4)b 11.5 X 34.9 cm October/November 183 


Sworn declaration addressed to the strategus of the Arabian nome by a etcyjuwy 
of a village in the nome, nominated to accompany a quantity of requisitioned wheat 
to Alexandria and hand it over to the administration of the Neapolis granaries. 4064-5 
also concern the transport of such requisitioned wheat, mupdc cuvayopactixdc — Selypara 
or samples in 4064, not the grain itseif as here. Alexandria is the destination in those 
texts as well. 

The papyrus seems to be a valid document, coming as it does with autograph 
subscription by the liturgist’s guarantor and another by an assistant of the strategus, 
yet curiously a space was left blank (6) for the quantity of grain to be transported; 
the day of the month seems to have been omitted from the date (26), and there are 
other oddities of wording (see 12 n.). 

The liturgist’s guarantor is a former archiereus of the nome capital Phacusae. 

Sworn declarations regarding the taking up of liturgies are listed by N. Lewis, 
Compulsory Public Services (Pap. Flor. X1) 121, Table 4. 

On mupoc cuvayopactixéc or frumentum emptum in general see XLI 2958 introd. and 
XLVII 3335 introd.; see also LVII 3910, and 4056 above. 4063-5 are our first witnesses 
for such a requisition in autumn 183. The requisition was levied on the harvest of the 
23rd year=summer 183, see 4064. Consignment of zupdc cuvayopactixoc to Alexandria 
was explicitly known before now only from P. Lond. II gor (p. 256)=M. Chr. 340, 
from the period 138-161. We do not know the price at which the grain was requisi- 
tioned on the present occasion, nor do we have any data on the quantities levied 
(although an amount should have been stated in 4063). We do not know if all the 


150 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


Arabian nome was involved, or only part of it. In 4063 3 the name of the village 
remains unread; in 4065 8 the location of Too is not certain; the liturgist obliged to 
accompany the consignment of samples in 4064 came from the village of Eleira, located 
in a comogrammateia which comprised other villages too and formed part of a topar- 
chy ‘above the city of the Phacusites’. It seems likely that the requisition affected the 
entire nome. 

The grain was to be delivered to the Neapolis (Alexandria) granaries, but we do 
not know its ultimate destination. The involvement of a centurion (4063 9) indicates 
that a military destination is probable, but this might be soldiers in Alexandria or 
armies outside Egypt. There were problems in Dacia in 182-4, and in Britain in ?184. 
However, questions of distance apart, there is no need to think of a situation of military 
emergency. Economic emergency is another matter: cf. XLI 2958 introd. We have no 
data on the quality of the Nile flood in 182; that of 183 itself—perhaps the most likely 
candidate, if the requisition was at all the result of the quality of a flood—was possibly 
‘médiocre’, see D. Bonneau, Le fisc et le Nil 251. Of course, if the grain were being 
transported beyond Egypt, it would be the agricultural situation at its destination 
that would be relevant, not that in Egypt. 

The back is blank. On the back can be seen the remains of a kollesis, occurring 
at the extreme right of the front.

(1928) 59 ff., Grundz. 369, 507-8 (on no. 432), 523 (on no. 444)), and not that of Rostovzeff (see P. Giss. 
II. 11 n.) who saw in the yerpicudc a corporation of naukleroi who would have effected the grain transport 
from Alexandria to Rome on the state’s behalf. The appearance of vav«Anpou xerpicwod Néac IIdewc seems 
insufficient reason to identify the simple yecpucudc as a corporation of shipowners, although such a corpora- 
tion may well have existed. More probably such naukleroi were contracted to the government in the sense 
that they customarily hired their vessels to the government for the grain transport; in virtue of this regular 
arrangement, they might reasonably be termed ‘naukleroi of the administration of Neapolis.’ 

In support of this interpretation it may be noted that in place of efe tov rc Néac []ddewc xerpicudv we

Rostovzeff’s interpretation of yeupicudc is challenged also by J. Vélissaropoulos, Les naucléres grecs 
110-111 and 118~121, according to whom an association of the naukleroi of the administration of Neapolis 
is not securely attested before 231 (SPP XX 32); the development into a liturgy of the position of naukleros 
is attested not long after (XII 1418, of 247). A. J. M. Meyer-Termeer, Die Haftung der Schiffer 11-12 only

4064. NominaTION To A LiruRGY 
46 5B.51/G(6—-7)b 9.3 X 34.5 cm 15 December 183 


Like 4065-7 this document is a nomination to a liturgy, presented to the strategus 
by a comogrammateus. Parallel texts are listed by N. Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 
114-7 (Table I); see also CPR VII pp. 74-8. 

As in 4063 and 4065, the liturgy in question concerns zupoc cuvayopactiKdc (frumen- 
tum emptum) being conveyed to the granaries of Neapolis in Alexandria. On zupoc 
cuvayopactikéc see 4063 introd. 

In 4064 the nominee will be required to undertake the devypatoxataywyia of the 
mupoc cuvayopactixéc, that is, he will have to escort to the Neapolis granaries the 
samples (Se¢ypara) already abstracted from a cargo of wheat requisitioned from a 
specific area (the kwuoypappareia?). For nominations relating to de¢ypwara, cf. P. Petaus 
55-7 and X 1254. On the deypatoxataywyia see Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 
20-21, and especially P. Petaus 55-8 introd. On the transport of grain to Alexandria 
in general note P. Oxy. Hels. 20 introd. 

This is the first document to attest devyypatoxatraywyia in connection with zupdc 
cuvayopactiKoc; previously it was attested only in connection with dndcioc arupéc. It 
is not clear whether this surveillance of samples of requisitioned wheat is simply an 
instance of a routine procedure. zrupoc cuvayopactixéc in bulk was already being trans- 
ported to Neapolis from the Arabian nome a month earlier, see 4063. 

There is a manufacturer’s kollesis at the extreme right edge. The back is blank.

5 ¥(mep) Pax[ouclerra@v 76A(w). The toparchy perhaps comprised the cultivated zone along the Pelusiac 
branch of the Nile, to the south of the city. 


8-12 mvpod ... mu[pod]. These lines are structurally awkward. Replacing wupod in 8 with rod (which 
cannot be read, however) would obviate the difficulty. 

14-15 Cf. N. Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 76. The formula r@ eud xwdvvem (present in 4065 6, 4066 
13, 4067 18—r9) is lacking here. Its absence does not seem significant: in the three liturgic nominations in 
the Petaus archive that relate to de¢ypara, the formula is present in two (P. Petaus 55, 57) and lacking in 
one (P. Petaus 56). In general, see Lewis of. cit. 69-71. 

20 On mépoc see Lewis of. cit. 74-6. The amount of the mépoc of a potential liturgist was regularly 
assessed only on his holdings of real property, and thus this is rarely made explicit in the text of a nomination; 
the present text and 4065 and 4067 are among the few exceptions. Others are P. Leit. inn(O); HI, Wi ay (= 
SB VIII 1o1g2), BGU VII 1566.16-17, and P. Ryl. II 90119, ii 38, 42, 49. 

26 Adp(iavod). The honorific month name Aspiavde = Xordk. See K. Scott, YCS 2 (1931) 261-2. 

28 A Bondc of a comogrammateus is attested in P. Hamb. I 11.20. Cf. 4065 16 and 4066 BE.

4065. NominaTIon To A LITURGY 
46 5B.51/G(11-12)b 9.4 X 28.2 cm 22 December 183 


The papyrus preserves the foot only of a nomination to a liturgy, similar to 4064 
above. Here too the liturgy concerns trupdc cuvayopactixéc, but the loss of the upper 
part deprives us of the details. 

Despite the loss of internal proof, the date and similarity of inventory numbers 
should suffice to place this text with 4063-4 and 4066-7 and to allow us to suppose 
that the addressee will have been Ammonius strategus of Arabia, attested in office 
(4064 and 4066) a few days each side of the date of 4065. 

There is a deep lower margin. The papyrus has been repaired at the right edge, 
before writing, giving the impression of a kollesis; the join is four layers thick, not 
three as in a normal kollesis (see LI 3624-6 introd. and P. Harr. II 212 introd.). The 
writing runs over the join in places. There is a thin vertical strip over the horizontal 
fibres (but overlaid by the writing) near to the same edge. 

The back is blank.

(P. Pruneti, J centri abitate dell’ Ossirinchite 206-7; M. Drew-Bear op. cit. (p. 306) differently), and in the 
Aphroditopolite and Heracleopolite: A. Calderini and S. Daris, Diz. Geogr. V. 20, 44. Despite the possible 
Oxyrhynchite references, a locality in the Arabian nome is to be sought here, see the introd. above. We 
already know of a locality in the Arabian nome with this name, viz. Thou (Jtin. Ant. 163.2, 170.1) also 
written Tohu (Not. dign. or. 28.41), a village of which the precise position remains unknown but which was 
apparently situated near the western end of the Wadi Tumilat. The variants of the name are explicable, 
and comparison of Th—/Toh— forms with Tood/Twv admissible, on the basis of Th— representing an aspirated

4066. Nominations To A LirurGyY 
46 5B.51/G(3-4)a II X 33.5 cm 24 December 183 


The papyrus is complete and contains liturgic nominations addressed to the 
strategus of the Arabian nome by a group of mpecBdrepor carrying out the functions 
of kwpoypaupatevc for a group of villages in the nome. The nominees are to serve as 
mupyopvAakec at two numbered mvpyou (see 15-16, 25) the locations of which are 
uncertain. Clearly we are concerned with guard posts at watch towers, possibly but 
not necessarily along a potentially hazardous route (cf. R. S. Bagnall, CE 57 (1982) 
125-8; G. Fuchs, Antike Welt 19 (1988) 15-30; R. E. Zitterkopf and S. E. Sidebotham, 
JEA 75 (1989) 155-189 with plates XII-XV). None of the place names in 4066 helps 
to establish the location. The desert route that today links Cairo with Suez, in large 
part retracing the line of an ancient route from Babylon to Clysma, was flanked by 
fifteen towers (numbered from west to east, see e.g. map 80/66 (‘Suez Road’) in the 
I: 100,000 scale series published by the Survey of Egypt) which still survive in part. 
The age of these towers has not been ascertained, and our attempts to inspect and 
photograph them have not been successful. 

The papyrus presents a number of peculiarities of onomastics, but this should not 
surprise us in a text from so thinly documented a region. See 17 n., 19 n. 

Written in a rapid and competent hand with frequent abbreviations. Lines 28-32, 
containing the date formula, are in a smaller script but by the same hand. A second 
hand has added the subscription in lines 32—3. Another hand, perhaps, has added 
check marks before the names of the nominees (17, 19, 21, 23, 26; see also 1 n.). 

Clearly visible near the left edge is a manufacturer’s kollesis; the writing runs 
over it. Further still to the left there is much glue staining and the remains of vertical 
fibres and it looks as if another document, now detached, was at one time glued on 
to the left edge of 4066. 

The back is blank.

4066. NOMINATION TO A LITURGY 159 
‘Rhise. 


“To Ammonius, strategus of Arabia, from Psois and his partners, village elders, 
carrying out the functions of comogrammateus of Rhise and other villages which form 
part of the toparchy of the lower Tetrakomia. Being asked by you for the names of 
tower guards for the two-month period Tybi-Mecheir of the present 24th year of 
Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, we nominate the persons 
listed below, who are suitable, at our own risk. As follows: 

‘For the tower which is customarily called the first: Piesies son of Phiebos, his 
mother being Thabeis, aged 25, from Takaperthis. Nistheroiis, his mother being 
Thabelles, aged 20, from Psophthis. Phaesis the elder, freedman of Teos son of Phthays, 
aged 35, from Rhise. Casyllas son of Psois the younger, his mother being Thaesis, 
aged 35, from the same. 

‘For the 8th tower, located at Scenae: Phthays son of Harpocras son of Petethymis, 
his mother being Tiathres, aged 40, from Rhise. 

“The 24th year of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus 
Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus Germanicus Maximus, the 27th 
of Hadrianus’. (2nd hand) ‘We, Psois and his partners, village elders, presented this 
through Ammonius, assistant.’ 


1 ‘Picyn. Cf. 5, 22, (24) and 27. Presumably this was the most important village in the area for which 
Psois and his partners were responsible; besides being alone here in the heading, it is the only village named 
in 5, and three of the five nominees come from there. The long diagonal check mark before the name may 
have been added by the same hand as the check marks before the names of the nominees (17, 19, 21, 23, 26). 

3-4 On village mpecBUrepor see A. Tomsin, Etude sur les rpecBitepor (Bruxelles, 1953), esp. 73-5 on the 
mpecBuTepor as acting—Kwyoypappareic. 

5-6 pépouc totrapyxiac. Cf. 4064 4-5. 

6 It is not clear if we are to think of a toparchy of the Tetrakomia divided into two parts (upper and 
lower), or of an entire toparchy known as the Upper Tetrakomia and another known as the Lower 
Tetrakomia. Similar avw/Kdtw divisions occur widely in the Hermopolite nome, and are interpreted as 
separate toparchies: M. Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite 45-9, 375-96. 

7-12 alrovpevor ... diSwyev. This formula recurs in 4064 6 ff. and in 4067 8 ff. It seems that the writer 
at first intended to abbreviate, thus afrovp(evor); ~ appears to be followed by an abbreviation stroke over 
which a heavy e was then written. 

8 zupyoduAdcwy. There were (note 8-9 n.) at least four per tower; cf. W. Clarysse and P. J. Sijpesteijn, 
Anc. Soc. 19 (1988) 84-6 for a group of four persons performing alternating guard duties. mupyovAakec 
had previously appeared only in two documents of the Byzantine period, P. Flor. III 297.469 and P. Cairo 
Masp. I 67054 i 4 (cf. 67058 iii 2?) with the note to the latter ‘le tupyodvAa€, gardien de tours (a la limite 
du desert), serait un agent de police analogue au paydwAodvAaé du Fayim’. We may now compare the 
cxorreAdpior (R. S. Bagnall, The Florida Ostraka (Durham, 1976) pp. 25-6) and also cxomedodvAak [ in 
O. Barns 1 (R. A. Coles, PE 39 (1980) 127). Bibliography to these Florida and associated ostraka is 
usefully gathered in the article by Clarysse and Sijpesteijn cited above, Anc. Soc. 19 (1988) 71 ff, and 
Clarysse, Atti Napoli III 1021-6, where the geographical setting of the group is also discussed but see now 
H. Cuvigny, Proc. XX Congr. (forthcoming). A cxoreAdpuoc is attested by a third century ostracon from the 
Suez area, SB VI 9549 no. 4.8-9. 

8-9 diujvov TiBi Mexelp. This is a relatively short period of office. This might be routine, because of 
the inconvenient conditions of service; cf. Bagnall, The Florida Ostraka p. 26. Another short term may be 
indicated by O. Theb. 13g (list of vuxtodvAaxec for Thoth). The guards might have been in office for longer 
than the cited month, but N. Lewis in Compulsory Public Services 40 treats this as an example of shared then 
divided responsibility. In 4066, note that the period of office is almost immediate (the text is dated 24 


160 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


December, the appointment to start 28 December). On last-minute nomination see Lewis op. cit. 66. The 
disparity in the number of nominees (4 for one tower, only 1 for another), and the fact that nominations 
are made for only two towers out of the system, may be noted; but other nominees for these and other 
towers could have been supplied from other villages. 

15 kata cuvievav. Cf. 25 n. ad fin. 

16 mp@tov mipyov. There were at least eight towers, cf. 25. See the introd. above on the system of 
numbered towers on the Cairo—Suez desert route. 

17-18 ITecipc is attested elsewhere in the forms ITecipc/ITvechc/Pecujc. PreBaic is not attested elsewhere; 
apart from an uncertain ®eBac (BGU III 455.16), the papyri supply the form [7eBac. More usual forms 
of OaBeic are OaBrjc, TaBijc, TaBeic. 

18 amo Taxarépbewc. The village is not known from elsewhere. 

19 Nicbepwodc. Cf. P. Bub. I pp. 42-3. 

OaBeAdjouc. OaBeAAjc appears to be unattested from elsewhere. Perhaps cf. the genitives TaBéAAewc 
(PSI XIV 1409.4) and TaBeAXefo(uc) (BGU IX 1891.239). 

20 Yaédbewc. The common place name YaBOic = Arabic Saft derives from an Egyptian word meaning 
‘a (large) wall’, which was also applied to the embankments of fortifications or to the forts themselves. See 
J. Yoyotte, Rev. d’Eg. 15 (1963) 106-114. 

25 Kata Cxnvac 6vta 7 mUpyov. At present we may only guess at the location of these Cxnvai, indicating 
an encampment. The well known Scenae Veteranorum (Itin. Anton. 163.1, 169.4; A. Calderini—S. Danis, Diz. 
geogr. [V 290-1) should not enter into consideration, lying outside the likely territory of the Arabian nome. 
Of the other Cxnvai listed by Calderini-Daris, Cxnvai Mixpai and Cxnvai Meyda remain possibilities. Note 
that the same text that attests them (R. O. Fink, RMR no. 76) shows soldiers being sent to Clysma (Suez), 
see col. xviii 4, 16. A minor encampment to serve the personnel on guard at these zvpyou is also a possibility, 
but the location of the towers remains quite uncertain, see the introd. above. 

Grammatically, another approach is very attractive but far from clear in its topographical implications. 
The phrasing in 15-16 and 25 has the same form, tov xara x 6vra (ordinal) w¥pyov, and should therefore 
be understood in the same way. We would then have ‘tower 1 in the usual numbering’ (15-16) and (25) 
‘tower 8 in the Scenae numbering’ or even ‘tower 8 counting by encampments’ (printing c«yvdc in place 
of Cxyvdc). “Tower 8 in the Scenae numbering’ might refer to a system of numbering the towers which 
began at the other end of the route, in contrast to local usage for the nearer towers, which might mean 
that the Scenae of the text need not have to be located within the Arabian nome. 

26 ITerefvpuoc. This is the first post-Ptolemaic example of this name. 

33, Bonfoi also act in 4064 28 and 4065 16.

4067. SusstTiruTE NoMINATION TO A LITURGY 
46 5B.51/G(6—-7)a 9-5 X 33-5 cm 16 January 184 


This almost complete papyrus contains a nomination to a liturgy, submitted to 
the strategus of the Arabian nome (through the royal scribe, acting strategus) by the 
comogrammateus of Heroopolis (see the introd. to 4063-7 above) and Thaubasthis 
(8n.). Liturgic service had been requested for the supervision of dnyocia Kal odciax? 
yy in the vicinity of a village of now uncertain name. This particular liturgy is not 
listed by N. Lewis, Compulsory Public Services 29-31 s.v. émitnpneic, but see 10-11 n. 
The substitute nomination was necessitated by the flight of the previous nominee. The 
papyrus does not indicate the starting date or the duration of the liturgy. If we may 
suppose that Thoth 1 and one year are likely, then probably the previous nominee 


4067. SUBSTITUTION NOMINATION TO A LITURGY 161 
fled while in office (the substitute nomination is dated in Tybi) after completing at 
most one third of the task. 

There is a kollesis down the left edge, from the original manufacture of the roll.

‘To Ammonius, strategus of Arabia, through Sarapion alias Sarapammon royal 
scribe and acting strategus of the same nome, from Sarapion comogrammateus of 
Heroopolis and Thaubasthis. Asked by you to name someone for the supervision of 
state and usiac land near the village of ..., in place of Phabalus whose mother is 
Tkollauthis, from Heroopolis, resident in Caene, declared as having fled, at my own 
risk I nominate the person whose name is written below, who is of adequate means 
and suitable. As follows: 

‘Anthakis son of Phimenis, his mother being Taphiomis, from Thaubasthis, aged 
35, having building property worth 800 drachmas. 

‘The 24th year of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus 
Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus Germanicus Maximus, the 2oth 
of Tybi.’ 

(2nd hand) ‘I, Sarapion, comogrammateus, presented this.’ 


1-5 4066, of three weeks earlier, is addressed to Ammonius without any intermediary. 

7 ‘Hp&<w>v wodewc. For the location of Heroopolis and the topographical significance of this text, see 
the general introduction above to 4063-7. 

8 Thaubasthis is associated with Heroopolis (see the introd. above to 4063—7) in a single cwyoypaypa- 
teia. This Thaubasthis is probably to be identified with the locality already known from the Not. Dign. (or. 
xxvili 38: Thaubasteos), the Jtin. Ant. (171.1: Thaubasium), and R. O. Fink, RMR 70 c 8 (Thaub( )). See 
A. Calderini-S. Daris, Diz. geogr. Il 239. We would then have here the first attestation of the place written 
in Greek. According to the Jt. Ant. the village lay eight miles from Serapeum, on the route linking 
Serapeum with Pelusium. Cf. Déscr. de ’ Egypte XI (Etat moderne) 120-1, 309. Serapeum (perhaps to be 
identified with Gebel Maryam, to the west of Lake Timsah: cf. J. Lesquier, L’armée romaine 400 n. Q) for 
its part lay near the fork in the route which, coming from Tohu (4065 8 n.) and passing Heroopolis, split 
to lead northwards to Pelusium and south by the Bitter Lakes to Clysma (/tzn. Ant. 170-1). On the stages 
and distances on the routes in this region, note K. A. Worp, <PE 87 (1991) 292-4; cf. in general Lesquier 
op. cit. 399-401. If all this is correct, the comogrammateia of Heroopolis and Thaubasthis covered an area 
probably more than 20 km across in a straight line. 

10-11 An émitnpyntic ovciaxa@v KtTnaTwv is known in the second century. See H. C. Kuhnke, Odciaxy 
yj. Domdnenland in den Papyri der Prinzipatszeit (Diss. Koln 1971) 75-7, and G. M. Parassoglou, Jmperial 
Estates in Roman Egypt 46. 

12-13 ®aBadov. A PaBarc (so NB) is attested in P. Grenf. I 39 (Thebaid, second—first century Bc). 

13 The name TxodAadfic is attested in P. Mich. IV 223 (Karanis, 171-2). 

15 ev Kaw. XI 1380 31 is the only other attestation of a locality with this name probably in Lower 
Egypt: cf. Calderini—Daris, Diz. geogr. III 48 item 2. The other more distant locations are excluded by the 
resident’s (abandoned) performance of a liturgy in the Arabian nome. 

20 AvOdxuc. The name Avrdxic is attested in SB I 5124.346 (Tebtunis, 192) and P. Giss. Univ. 49 
(Tebtunis, 221).

III 382.13~—16, also a rescript of Severus and Caracalla, will have been a close parallel 
to ours, with particular resemblances to the first of our three: see 6—8 n. 

No precise date survives. The month is given in 21 (for the rescript in 17—20 
only?) as Pharmouthi= March/April. The much-damaged year, if that is what it is, 
will presumably be 199/200, as so often elsewhere in surviving rescripts of these em- 
perors, cf. W. Williams, JRS 64 (1974) 88—-go and ZPE 22 (1976) 241. For biblio- 
graphy on texts of this type see LI 3611 introd. 

The papyrus is written across the fibres in a rough semi-cursive hand. There is 
sufficient blank margin at the foot to indicate that the complete collection comprised 
just these three rescripts on the sheet. The back is blank. Comparison of surface 
textures suggests that the rescripts have been written ¢ransversa charta, and there may 
have been a kollesis at the very foot. 

Much of the preliminary work on this text was done by Mrs. M. Coles.

This scrap is of prosopographical interest, furnishing us with two new strategi, 
see 2~3n. No date is preserved (apart from the month-and-day notation of receipt, 
line 1), but an approximate date may be deducible from the mention of Junius Punicus 
(if the cognomen is rightly read and restored), possibly here procurator Neaspoleos; he

was not known in this office, but—if it is the same person—had been procurator 
provinciae Thraciae and then procurator ad Mercurium in Egypt before the end of 201, see 
H.-G. Pflaum, Les carriéres proc. équestres IL pp. 653-4. The wording of the four 
Tripolitanian inscriptions cited by Pflaum should imply that Punicus’ tenure of the 
post of procurator Neaspoleos postdated these appointments. Given the uncertain dates, 
and the thin ranks of known holders, there are no problems over accommodating 
Punicus in the list. For the procurator ad Mercurium, besides Pflaum, op. cit., III 1089, 
see his Suppl. (1982) 140, and XXXI 2567 9n. and P. Coll. Youtie I 32=XLVII 
3363. For the procurator Neaspoleos see Pflaum, Suppl. 140-1, which supersedes his 
earlier list. 

Written along the fibres in a good-sized rounded cursive. The address is on the 
back, along the fibres, in a backward-sloping and presumably different hand.

4070. OrreR TO ConTRACT FOR WorRK ON TRAJAN’S CANAL

Two Lycopolite zorayira: offer to take on the cleaning of a section of Trajan’s 
canal near Phacusae the metropolis of the Arabian nome. For the topography and 
bibliography of the Arabian nome see the general introd. to 4063-7 above. For the 
relationship of the canal to Phacusae see 8 n. The addressee is Sarapion alias Phanias, 
strategus Arabiae. This confirms the re-reading of Sarapion’s area of authority in IX 
108-110, while the Oxyrhynchite provenance of the present text strengthens the likeli- 
hood of Sarapion’s being an Oxyrhynchite, ibid. 109. 1197 was tentatively re-dated 
in that article to 4-12 August 208. The new text preserves no date. The only other 
known strategus of this area is Ammonius in 183/4, see 4063-7 above, while 4067 also 
attests a Sarapion alias Sarapammon as acting strategus concurrently with Ammonius 
early in 184. 

The back is blank.

canal from Babylon through the Wadi Tumilat. It would seem that the canal system, as well as bending 
eastwards to pass through the Wadi Tumilat, continued north-eastwards (from a junction near the western 
end of the Wadi) so as to pass much closer to Phacusae, and that this north-eastern section was also known 
as forming part of Trajan’s canal. This will also tally with the earlier witness of Strabo, who informs us

4071. PETITION To AN ACTING EPISTRATEGUS 
101/135(b) 7.8 x 6.5 cm Q41—A? 


This fragment from the top of a petition, in a handsome formal documentary 
hand, is of prosopographical interest: the addressee is Aurelius Hermanubis, no doubt 
the same man as the presiding official in the legal proceedings at Antinoopolis M. 
Chr. 93. His position there was not stated. Here he is vir egregius, duémwv tiv emuctpary- 
yiav (of the Heptanomia, since the petitioner comes from the Small Oasis). His date 
and hence where he is to be placed in the list of J. D. Thomas, The Roman Epistrategos 


168 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


191, are conjectural. M. Chr. 93 refers back to a date 23 April 241 when Claudius 
Cleogenes was epistrategus. It is a possibility, but little more than that, that 
Hermanubis was acting epistrategus in the interval between Cleogenes and the next 
known epistrategus Antonius Alexander, thus 241~4. 

There is a kollesis through 7 of 7@ in 1. The back is blank.

4072. DECLARATION BY AN émueAnric KpiO7jc 
101/193(c) 10.5 X 12.5 cm c. 283/4 


This declaration to an acting strategus by a councillor holding the post of super- 
visor of barley is principally of interest for the name of the addressee, Julius Dubitatus 
Scylacius. Unfortunately the damage in line 2 has deprived us of the nome of which 
he was acting strategus. It is hardly conceivable that he should be a different person 
from Julius Juppetatus Scylacius, strategus of the upper Sebennyte in 4073 below. If 
the identity is accepted, one version of his name must be false; since Dubitatus is 
attested (I. Kajanto, The Latin Cognomina 351), the balance may be slightly in its 
favour, but a corruption Jourmeratoc : Aovmtaroc could occur either way. Since, how- 
ever, Scylacius is not strategus here but acting strategus, 4072 should represent another 
stage in his career; that is to say, the nome lost at the end of 2 should not be the 
upper Sebennyte. No strategus (or acting strategus) is known for the Oxyrhynchite 
at this date (G. Bastianini—J. Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes 102), but perhaps 
another nome altogether is to be expected. The presence of the Sebennyte document 


4072. DECLARATION BY AN énumednrnc Kpib jc 169 


in Oxyrhynchus might be explained if Scylacius had private interests in Oxyrhynchus 
and took with him there documents connected with his official postings elsewhere, a 
practice conjectured in other similar instances. I can see no way of determining 
whether 4073 should be earlier or later than 4072. 

A heavy (four layer?) kollesis runs down the front, 2.5 cm from the right edge. 
On the back, the same way up, are parts of two columns of accounts; the sum of 
17 tal. 5224 dr. occurs twice, and there are mentions of Alexandria (twice) and 
opawviov. This account may belong to the early fourth century and was probably 
written in Oxyrhynchus once the papyrus had been discarded as scrap.

Fragment from the top of a letter to the strategus of the upper Sebennyte nome 
from a councillor, seemingly concerned with the appointment of émpeAntai. No date 
survives but the script and the fact that the strategus is an ex-hypomnematographus 
(see 2 n.) suggest the late third century. 

The main interest of the text is in the areas of prosopography and onomastics. 
Very few strategi of the Sebennyte (upper, lower or undivided) are known; this one 
is new, and bears the extraordinary name of Julius Juppetatus Scylacius. See further 
1 n. and cf. 4072. His correspondent bears the equally strange name Aurelius Kyotiwv,

papyri (XLIV 3192, LIV 3729, P. Mil. 55), against P. Sak. 64 with tmarefac. The consulate of 307 is in 
fact the last for which the form émi drarwv is used in P. Oxy. 

1-2 Line lengths in the document are nowhere certain, and the inset of 2 is conjectural only. The 
proposed lengths in 4—5 will admit the version of the consular formula as printed (or perhaps divide 
émt/pavectarov), parallel with LIV 3729 and P. Mil. 55. Alternatively the formula could have continued 
Ma€éipivov Kaicapoc 70 a’ (cf. P. Sak. 64). Month and day could have followed, instead of coming at the 
end of the document as the transcript supposes. For the consular formula see R. S. Bagnall and K. A. 
Worp, Chronological Systems of Byzantine Egypt 105 (P. Thead. 10o=P. Sak. 64; XLIV 3192 also omits 70d); 
R. S. Bagnall et al., Consuls of the Later Roman Empire 149. 

The beginning of 5 is perhaps abrupt, so that further wording may have followed yaipew at the end 
of 4, with consequent extension of the other lines. This is not of much importance; the choice of wording 
for the consular formula is likely to have been much the same, though the layout would be likely to 
be different. 

3 The letters after O€wvoc are probably the remains of a title, perhaps mpoy[onrod or mpay[parevTod. 

4 Dioscurides was already known as strategus of the Oxyrhynchite c. 310-11, see P. Oxy. LIV p. 224. 
This new item should be entered there into the tabulated data for his career; it is both the earliest reference 
to him as strategus and the earliest certain dated reference to Dioscurides alias Julianus as distinct from 
his (conjectured) father Julianus alias Dioscurides. For strategi of the Oxyrhynchite in this period see also

4075 preserves part of the logistes’ daybook, a genre of which only one other 
possible example has survived, LIV 3741. For the strategus in the third century W. Chr. 
41 provides a close and more extensive parallel. The format of 4075 is unusual, and 
in contrast with the regular ¢ransversa charta format of proceedings rolls such as LIV 
3758 and 3759. The records cover both sides of the sheet, written first across the fibres 
in a wide column and apparently continuing directly (to judge from the day numera- 
tion) on to the back. Were lines 1-15 then the last column of the roll on that side? 
There is no evidence as to whether any more columns (and if so, how many) preceded 
and followed those that survive, and it is theoretically possible that the sheet was 
occupied by a single wide column each side. The column width has not been estab- 
lished either side. We can exclude the possibility that we are dealing with a roll used 
transversa charta on both sides, because of the superior surface quality of the second 
side (16-30) where the text is along the fibres and where too there may be remains 
of a ragged kollesis. I do not see any reasons to exclude the possibility of the papyrus 
being from a codex, unless it be the considerable page width needed—a minimum of 
25 cm, to judge from 19. On papyrus codex sizes see E. G. Turner, The Typology of 
the Early Codex 14-22. The minimum 25 cm, while not exceptional, would still place 
the papyrus among Turner’s broadest examples. 

The logistes is not named but the date can be loosely fixed by the presence of 
the mapedpoc Euangelus who has appeared in LIV 3767 3 (329 or 330); it is not 
certainly the same person, of course, but I think the identity is likely. It should further 
antedate the fall of Licinius in 324, since the mention of Aiéc in 1 is likely to indicate 
that the logistes’ bureau was closed on Thursdays (cf. LTV 3741), a practice abandoned 
after the area came under the control of Constantine (3741 introd. and LIV 3759). 
Most of the days receive very brief entries, as they do in 3741, but the bulk of both 
sides of the sheet is taken up with a record of the opening of a will, cf. LIV 3758 
134-155, 181-213. If we may suppose that the opening took place on Payni 12 (line 2), 
two days after the will was drawn up on Payni 10 (line 20; for a similar rapid succession 
of drafting, death and the opening of the will cf. 3758 134 and 151), then the knowledge 
that Payni 11 (=June 5) was a Thursday enables us to limit the possible years to 307 
(our earliest date for the logistes in Oxyrhynchus being 303, LIV 3727), 312 and 318: 
for the calculation see V. Grumel, La chronologie 316-7. The latest of these dates is to 
be preferred as coming closest to the other recorded appearance of Euangelus, in 329 
or 330 (see above).

the name of a previously unknown Oxyrhynchite strategus, Aurelius Eudaemon alias 
Helladius (see 4 n.), even though it is not clear whether he was currently in office or 
not. His partner in whatever office they held is another well known Oxyrhynchite 
public figure, Valerius Ammonianus alias Gerontius, curator civitatis and then acting 
curator civitatis not long before (see P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I). It is not clear what 
other office he may be holding here (entitling him to retain the gentilicium Valerius? 
LIV 3771 3 n.)—in addition, that is, to the office he shares with Eudaemon. If as I 
suppose he is now ex-curator (am[o Aoyicr@v? in 3), then the date of 4076 can be 
confined within 320 to the period after PSI V 454, dated in Mecheir (Jan.—Feb.) of 
that year, when he was still in office (see P. Oxy. LIV p. 224).

Gerontius’ attested second period of office as curator (see P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I). For other considerations 
see 4n. I exclude 326 (Constantine VII, Constantius Caesar I) because by this date Ammonianus alias 
Gerontius should bear the gentilicium Flavius, not Valerius, if he were still in central government service 
(J. G. Keenan, ZPE 11 (1973) 33-63 and 13 (1974) 283~304). Some of the papyrological evidence for 
320 omits tod émpavectdrov for Constantine Caesar, thus admitting the possibility of a line length 16 
letters shorter. : 

2 The month and day are likely to have followed a restatement (imaredac ric adric vel sim.) of the 
consular formula at the foot of the document. 

3 Apupwriave intended but the slurred script more resembles Awwviavad. 

3 ff. The line length is uncertain, see 1 n.; this complicates attempts to restore 3-4. Odadepiw (3) 
should imply that Eudaemon alias Helladius was an Aurelius, contrast the plural AdpyAvoz in 6. tHe adric 
7oAewc should imply that there was a reference to Oxyrhynchus in 3 or 4. We cannot be certain that only 
two persons were addressed; another name could have come in the lost part of 4 most probably. If so, 
supply AdpnAdore at the end of 3 and not AdpyAtw. 

4 Our Eudaemon alias Helladius is presumably the same person as the Aurelius Eudaemon alias 
Helladius, ex-gymnasiarch, bouleutes and bibliophylax in M. Chr. 196 (AD 309: A. K. Bowman, Town 
Councils of Roman Egypt 143). His homonym of c. 284 (XII 1412), with a string of Alexandrian and 
Oxyrhynchite offices to his credit, may have been his father as Bowman (of. cit. 136 n. 21) suggests; the 
homonym of XL 2904 (17 April 272) may also be identifiable with the father. The son’s tenure of the 
office of strategus (a local posting by this date, of course) is new information. There is no difficulty in fitting 
him into the lists (see G. Bastianini—J. Whitehorne, Strategi and Royal Scribes of Roman Egypt (Pap. Flor. XV) 
105) either in 320 (after some time in Mecheir, see introd.) or early 319 (as proposed in 1-2 n. above). 
The presence of a Eudaemon in XLIV 3194 (29 April 323) may favour the later date. If Eudaemon alias 
Helladius were not currently in office (the reading in 4 here admits —y@ or —yy[cavtv), there is ample space 
for him earlier. i

97/139(a) 9-5 X 7 em 825-337" 


This scrap is of interest for the name of a new curator civitatis of Oxyrhynchus 
(cf. line 2), Flavius Achilles. His placing in the chronological sequence (see the list of 
office holders in P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I) is a problem; the conditions are more or 
less identical with those for the otherwise unknown Flavius Asclepiades attested by 
LIV 3768. Here the script suggests the first half of the fourth century, while nomen- 
clature (Flavius) ensures a date of 325 or later (J. G. Keenan, ZPE 11 (1973) 49; 
ibid. 13 (1974) 291, 294, 302). The broad date therefore should be between 325~c. 350. 
Since the date 16 April occurs in line 6, years within the broad period which could 
be vacant on this day for a new curator would be (improbably 325 itself: XLIII 3125, 
dated to Pharmuthi in this year, has Dioscurides as curator), 327, 329, 332-7; 341 and 
344 on. For the exclusion of 328, 339 and 340 see 4079-80 and 4084-5 below. A 
search through the Oxyrhynchus texts in the Duke data bank has yielded only one 
Achilles who could be identified with our Flavius Achilles, Ay:AAéwe yevopévou diacnpo-

tatov in XLVIII 3386 4—5, father of a party to a contract dated 28 March 338. If 
we might rely on the explanation of yevowévovu diacnuworarov offered in the note thereon, 
we should be able to conclude that Achilles had been curator civitatis, deceased by the 
date of the contract. If so, then identification with our Achilles can hardly be avoided, 
and 16 April is excluded as a date for 4077 in all years beyond 337, thus reducing 
the possible range to 325-337. 

The content of the scrap may be legal proceedings, cf. 5 n. The script is broadly 
similar to the scripts of papyri with proceedings published in P. Oxy. LIV, cf. e.g. 
the section of 3758 on plate XIII. Written along the fibres; the other side is blank. 
There is no trace of any kollesis on either side. The coarser surface of the written side 
may suggest that the text is written ¢ransversa charta.

Aurelius Eustochius, a well known systates of Oxyrhynchus (see XLV 3249 
introd.), writes to the curator civitatis nominating someone for service on a government 
cargo vessel, no doubt for the river transport of state grain. The closest parallel is 
XXXIV 2715. 

The text, nearly complete but much damaged, is principally of prosopographical 
interest. It provides a date for Leucadius as curator civitatis of Oxyrhynchus later than

what had been supposed to be the earliest date for his successor Thannyras (16 January 
327, I 83 and 83a), thus showing the correctness of K. A. Worp’s proposal that 83 
and 83a should be dated by the post-consulate and not the consulate of 327 (thus 17 
January 328). See 4079-80 introd., and 4079 11 n. for Leucadius’ possible later career. 
These data should be entered in the table in P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I, p. 225. 

A supplementary detail of interest is that Leucadius is apparently (unless the 
repeated name is an error) the son of Leucadius. For the statement of the father’s 
name in similar circumstances cf. P. Harr. II 212.4. We have no information on this 
senior Leucadius. 

XXXIII 2675, 3249 and 4078 are all in Eustochius’ own hand, I think, but in 
4078 he writes in a peculiarly extrovert manner which is frequently very difficult to 
interpret. No kollesis is preserved. The back is blank.

This nomination survives in two separate copies. The two pieces of papyrus were 
probably cut from one roll in which they were contiguous, but a three layer manufac- 
turer’s kollesis falls precisely between them and excludes fibre comparisons. Both texts 
are in the same hand, and each has a subscription in the same second hand; they are 
both severely damaged in their centre portions. Aurelius Ammon, systates (not recorded 
elsewhere in P. Oxy.), submits to the curator civitatis his nomination of an assistant to 
the president of the Capitoline Games in Oxyrhynchus. For these games see P. Frisch, 
Kehn agonistische Papyrt pp. 37-9. 

The wording is basically the same in each copy. Two awkward variations are 
noted here: the forms of the name of the nominator’s father, both peculiar (see 4079 
3n.); and the apparently irreconcilable lengths of the partly lost and unrecognizable 
amphodon—name in 5-6 in each version. The month and day, useful information here, 
are omitted in 4080. 

A particular interest of 4079 is the date it supplies for the rarely attested Flavius 
Thannyras, curator civitatis of the Oxyrhynchite. For the troubled spelling of his name 
see In. I tabulated the published data relevant to his tenure in P. Oxy. LIV 
Appendix I, p. 225. 4079 should now be entered there as the latest attestation of

respect: I accept a proposal (K. A. Worp, by letter) that I 83 and 83a should be 
dated by the post-consulate of 327, thus 17 January 328 instead of 16 January 327 as 
was given in the table in P. Oxy. LIV p. 225; that this must be correct is now shown

182 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


‘To Flavius Thannyras, curator of the Oxyrhynchite, from Aurelius Ammon son 
of Herodion(?) from the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites, 
systates of the tribe of the Avenue of ..... and other districts. In accordance with the 
ee of the prefectural power of Zenius, vir perfectissimus, I nominate for the service of 
Leucadius, games-president for the propitious performance here of the sacred 
Capitoline Games, the person whose name is written in below and who is suitable for 
the appointment. As follows: Aurelius Choiis, son of Horion, from the same city, the 


same tribe. 
‘(In the consulship of] Flavius Januarinus and Vettius Justus, vr? clarissimi, 


Pachon 8.’ 
(2nd hand) ‘I, Aurelius Ammon, presented this.’ 


1 [O]avvypa. Cf. 4080 1. As evidence of the correct spelling of the curators name, 4079 is obviously 
worthless, witness the writer’s predilection for 7 in place of v (e.g. dnAzjc, line 5 in each copy); if anything, 
—npa here can be seen as support for —vpa attested elsewhere (see LIV 3765). 

3 Cf. 4080 3. 1. Hpweiw<vo>c? The two versions, as transcribed, of Ammon’s father’s name are incom- 
patible and both peculiar. Since the texts were not written by Ammon himself (cf. 22, 4080 23-4), both 
forms may derive from inadequate hearing by the none too competent scribe (cf. the extensive app. crit.!). 
If so, perhaps ‘Hpwéiwvoc is what should have been written in each case, although this name has not yet 
been recorded in P. Oxy. 

5-6 The phyle-name has resisted identification, apart from the obvious error Tpop— for Apou—. Cf. 4080 
5-6, less well preserved; understanding is not helped by the supposed ¢ in 4080 6 and by the apparently 
different lengths of the two versions. ytnroc resembles nothing in the list in H. Rink, Strassen- und Viertelnamen 
von Oxyrhynchus 52. 

10 Cevifov. Cf. 4080 10. For Septimius Zenius, praefectus Aegypti, see P. J. Sijpesteija—K. A. Worp, 
Tyche 1 (1986) 192, with L. Koenen-—P. J. Sijpesteijn, Archiv f. Pap. 33 (1987) 55-62. 4079 falls within his 
known tenure. 

11 ele Hmepeciay (1. drnpeciav) Aev[Kadiov. Cf. the baypecia Atockovpidov (=the Oxyrhynchite curator 
in 318, 320-325?) in XII 1509. 

Aev[xadiov. Cf. 4080 11 Aevya[diov. This is probably Thannyras’ predecessor as logistes (see P. Oxy. 
LIV Appendix 1, p. 225), last attested in that office in Feb. 327 (4078 above), and a suitably distinguished 
citizen to hold the office of dywvo@éryc. This office should then be added to the entry for him in P. Oxy. 
LIV p. 225 under the heading ‘Later career’. 

13-14 Ka[mtwAaxod | a[yavoc. For the restoration, corrected here, cf. 4080 13-14. The initial trace 
of 14 is indeterminate, so that the actual distribution of letters between 13 and 14 is uncertain, and 
identification of the first trace of 14 as a is arbitrary. 

16 The gap at the end of the line might otherwise suggest that 17-18 were an insertion by the same 
hand into a ready prepared text, but 4080 gives no parallel impression. 

19 bratetac apparently omitted; there is hardly space for it at the end of 18.

4081. Summary oF Prices DECLARED BY GUILDS 
105/81 (c) 6.5 X 14 cm Fourth century 


This text provides a second example of the type of document first exemplified by 
LIV 3765, the bare list of items and prices extracted from a string of guild declarations. 


184 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


That the new text is not actually part of 3765 is immediately clear because 1i 6-11 
here record the same items as 3765 vi 41-6. 

4081 records items from the list of the pupom@dAa (cf. especially LIV 3733 and 
3766 v) and the traders in animal hides. We have in fact the last four items from the 
pupot@Aau-list (ii 1-4 = 3733 27-30=3766 v 109-112) and the list of hides follows 
straight on. We see that only one type of hide was lost preceding those listed in 3765 vi, 
and thus that the pupom@dAar-list occupied all but the last line of 3765 v. The two 
guilds were thus handled consecutively in 3765 and a slight modification is admissible 
to the table on P. Oxy. LIV p. 231 and the note thereto, p. 232 n. 7. 

Traces of prices from a preceding column survive on the left, which we do not 
transcribe. There is no clear change of hand, but the ink and spacing at the end of 
1 3 and the cramped layout in col. 1 to the left of ii 6 suggest that the prices may be 
insertions (cf. 3765 introd.). It is unfortunate that the prices in col. ii are all so dam- 
aged, and that the two items (11 2-3) to record prices happen to be two of the few in 
3766 that have lost them. This makes it difficult to do more than guess roughly at the 
date of 4081, except that comparison with the surviving data tabulated on P. Oxy. 
LIV p. 238 suggests a date later than that of 3766 (AD 329); see ii 2-3 n. Furthermore, 
uncertainty over the column height in 4081 makes it unprofitable to try and guess to 
what items the prices in its first column belonged. 

Most of the entries are routine, and attested from elsewhere, although the new 
prices (112-3) are useful information. The main point of interest is provided by the 
item in ii 4, which has caused problems everywhere else that it has turned up. See the 
note ad loc. 

There is no trace of any kollesis. The back is blank except for a few slight ink 
marks, perhaps offsets or accidental.

2-3 Comparing the table on P. Oxy. LIV p. 238, it will be seen that in 312 the price for dvuxéwy was 
roughly three times that of &yAowacriync. The same approximate proportion is represented here in 4081. 
Returning to 312, the price for dAxewriSwv (3733 27) may have been the same as for €vAopacriync, or 
slightly more (see app. crit. ad. loc.). By 329 the price for dAxewr/Swv was only 1000 den., whereas here in 
4081 the price of €vAopacriyne is 2( +?) tal. Proportions between the 312 and 329 prices are not consistently 
maintained, as the table on LIV p. 238 shows, but nevertheless the relatively higher price here for 
EvAowacrixne may indicate a date later than 3209. 

3 €vAopwactix(nc). Cf LIV 3766 111 n. 

4 LIV 3733 30 was read as adysactov. LIV 3766 v 112 was given as aA[macrov? (ed. pr. (=XXXI 
2570 iii) omits the entry), on the basis of this. We excluded ddacdvOou, cf. 3766 112 n. 3733 30 may now 
confidently be re-read as aAtuparoc, to concord with the reading here and at last provide the truth. dAequpa 
is glossed unguentum in the CGL. The word in our guild-declarations must have meant something more 
precise than that broad definition, but we have not identified what the specific sense might be. 

5, Bupcnc expected. Cf. 3765 41~—7 n., now neatly confirmed.

4082. PETITION TO AN EKDIKOs 
41 5B.88/B(1—-2)a IIx 17.5 cm g September 330 


Loss of most of the left half of this papyrus, together with an unknown amount 
at the foot, has made recovery of the details of this petition impossible. An 
Oxyrhynchite citizen complains apparently of damage (8) done by a neighbour (6) 
with an axe (7), but beyond that little can be gleaned. The addressee Claudius Hermias 
was already known, see 3 n.; the present text provides an earlier date for him. 

Written along the fibres in a contorted and idiosyncratic hand. The spelling is 
equally idiosyncratic. There is no kollesis preserved. It is clear from the surface texture 
that 4082 is written on the true recto, not the verso which is much coarser. The 
construction of the kollema in strips (pace I. H. M. Hendriks, <PE 37 (1980) 12t ff. 
(his views were re-stated in a modified form in Att: del XVII Congresso int. di Papirologia 
(Napoli, 1984), 31-7); see P. Harr. II 214 introd.) is clear on each side. The back

This modest scrap is of interest for providing an earlier attestation of Flavius

A 6/3(A) 14.5 x 8cm 6 May 339 


4083 above provided us with a new earliest date for Flavius Eusebius, curator 
cwitatis of the Oxyrhynchite, thus modifying the data in P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I 
p. 228. 4084 now allows us to modify the data for the end of his tenure, which it 
extends by over five months. Further modifications to those data are supplied by 4085 
below which has a new earliest date for Eusebius’ successor Eulogius, showing him to 
be already in office at some time between 7-25 May 339 (i.e. this same month), thus 
almost entirely eliminating the substantial gap between their previously attested 
tenures. 

Written along the fibres, transversa charta, as a horizontal kollesis proves. The 
papyrus comes from a tépoc cuyKoAAjcumoc; there are scanty remains of the item which 


188 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


adjoined at the left edge (with a four-layer join), with ink traces possibly in the 
same hand. 

The papyrus breaks off early enough to leave the more precise nature of the 
document unclear. A docket on the back mentions an acddaAeca, a pledge of some kind, 
operative from Thoth to the current month Pachon. The docket is written much 
larger, but is possibly still by the main hand of the front.

4085. Sworn DECLARATION TO THE LOGISTES 
A 171/37 7.3 X 6.3 cm 7-25 May, 339 


The preceding papyrus provided a new latest date (6 May 339) for Flavius 
Eusebius as curator civitatis of the Oxyrhynchite. The principal usefulness of this new 
scrap is to allow yet another modification to the list of curatores civitatis of Oxyrhynchus, 
P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I p. 228, by providing a new earliest attestation for Eusebius’ 
successor Flavius Eulogius in office, between 7-25 May 339. On the changeover, note 
LV 3794 2—3 n. (where the names of Eulogius and Eusebius should be transposed, see 
the list of addenda and corrigenda in P. Oxy. LVIII). 4085 allows us to fix the curator 
in 3794 as Eulogius, and it is no longer likely that anyone intervened between the 
two. Eulogius’ later career as envisaged by W. H. C. Frend, <PE 79 (1989) 249-50, 
will not accord with my tabulated data, P. Oxy. LIV pp. 228-9. 

Across the fibres on the back are parts of eight lines of faded cursive, perhaps 
a register.

101/4(a) g X 13.5 cm 345 


This sworn declaration concerning a delivery possibly to Alexandria provides 
surprising information regarding the now well-known Flavius Julianus who had held 
the post of curator cwitatis at Oxyrhynchus among other appointments in a long and 
distinguished career, see P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I, pp. 225-6. 4090 below adds a 
further detail to the later development of that career. 

We now find Flavius Julianus apparently as strategus (no other restoration of 
ctpa[ seems plausible) in AD 345, at a stage when he had already held several more 
important appointments. To suppose that we are dealing with another Julianus would 
be an artificial solution and would in any case only partly alleviate the difficulties, 
since our evidence indicates that strategi were not ex officio Flavii (J. G. Keenan, <PE 
13 (1974) 291 n. 171). We must, I think, conclude not only that Julianus is here 
retaining the title of Flavius which he had obtained by virtue of a previous higher 
office, but that he is holding what has been regarded as a junior appointment sub- 
sequent to his tenure of other senior posts. 

We can now see that the same progression from curator to strategus occurred in 
the career of Flavius Paeanius alias Macrobius, see 4089 and 4091 below, correcting 
P. Oxy. LIV Appendix I, pp. 227—8. We could reconsider Flavius Paniscus, P. Koln 
Panop. 30 (see LIV 3771 3 n.). 

There is no trace of a kollesis. On the back are faded and abraded remains of a 
grain account, plus other writing at right angles possibly shorthand.

1-2 The reading A[ (Q[ is not possible) excludes ap 349 (post-consulate of 348) as the date. Amantius 
and Albinus, consuls for 345, were known in Egypt from May 345, see R. S. Bagnall and K. A. Worp, 
Chron. Systems of Byz. Egypt 111 and R. S. Bagrrall et al., Consuls of the Later Roman Empire 225, so that the 
date here should fall in the first few months of the year. r@v Aaprpotdrwy in 2 will fill the calculated space 
neatly, but the papyri offer other versions for the titulature, see Bagnall—Worp op. cit. Month and day 
probably came at the foot after tratetac tHe adrHc vel sim., as often in this period.

nevertheless it would be surprising to encounter myriads of myriads of denarii as early as this.

4087-4088. Mansro Accounts: TAcONA AND OxYRHYNCHUS 


These two numbers preserve an extensive run of the accounts of the mansiones of 
the cursus publicus at Tacona (in the north of the Oxyrhynchite nome) and at 
Oxyrhynchus itself in the mid-fourth century, listing and identifying the number of 
persons staying each day and the number of animals with them and the amount of 
rations issued. 4087, on four pieces with parts of six columns between them, tight- 


192 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


packed, cursive and very abbreviated, covers all of Phaophi and much of Hathyr and 
Choeac. Entries are not quite strictly chronological (there are irregularities in the 
entries for late Phaophi). The backs of the pieces are all blank. The layout of 4088, 
which occupies both sides of its sheet, is more generous, well spaced and in a fluid 
more elegant hand. The columns are handsomely broad, and the last column of the 
‘verso’ immediately precedes the first column of the ‘recto’. All entries here relate to 
Payni where the month is ascertainable, but curiously are not chronologically arranged 
within the month; the text must have been adapted, from something more like 4087. 
At the end of the month (i.e. Payni) there is a summary of the rations issued in that 
month (lines 82-4). The same thing happened at the end of Phaophi (4087 79-81) 
and was presumably routine, although lost at the ends of the other months partly 
covered by these accounts. 

It will be clear from the physical description that there is no direct connection 
between 4087 and 4088; nor does any firm indication of the year concerned survive 
in either text. Scripts indicate the fourth century, not much later than its middle. For 
4088 a fairly precise indication of the date is provided by the mention of Flavius 
Felicissimus (line 56), vir perfectissimus, dux Aegypti, known in that office 347—350 (PLRE 
I 331). There appears to have been a consular date at the beginning of 4087, being 
the beginning of the entries for Phaophi (line 1), and again at line 85 at the start of 
Hathyr, but nothing but the word ézdpywyv survives from either. Possible years where 
the consular formula ends édpywv are 310, 327 and 331, with the possible addition 
of 344 since P. Abinn. 59 attests the incorrect use of émdapywyv for its post-consulate in 
345. For none of these years is a post-consulate likely for 4087, given its position late 
in the Julian year. For the consular formulas in Greek see R. S. Bagnall and K. A. 
Worp, Chronological Systems of Byzantine Egypt 106 ff. 

The standard entry format identifies the travelling party, in the dative; establishes 
the direction of travel; counts the days [nights?] spent in each mansio (always 1 in 
Tacona, 2 in Oxyrhynchus), and specifies the days of the month; totals the days 
(always 3), and states the number of rations for men (dvv@va, always abbreviated 
av-) and animals (xamura, abbreviated kam: or kamuT) issued per day—i.e. we get here 
the actual size of the party (unless anyone is receiving multiple rations). For annonae 
and capita see J. R. Rea et al., YCS 28 (1985) 101-4 and cf. XVI 2046 verso. Note 
the ration tables in A. H. M. Jones, LRE (1973) II 1261. The amounts in 4087 and 
4088 do not tally with any of these scales. The various ration elements are then 
separated but the amounts given are for the full three day period. The components 
are, for the men, one sixth of a modius of bread (see 4087 79), one sextarius of wine 
and half a litra of meat per day; and for the animals, half a modius of barley and 
twenty litrai of chaff per day. For a discussion of the equivalents of these amounts, 
see R. P. Duncan-Jones, PE 21 (1976) 43-62. For the bread: barley ratio of 1:3, 
cf. M. P. Speidel, Anc. Soc. 20 (1989) 241-2 and n. 17. With the number of visitors 
fluctuating considerably and perhaps unpredictably, it will not have been easy to 


4087. MANSIO ACCOUNTS 193 


provision the mansiones with adequate but not excessive fresh stocks. Other commodities 
would have been less of a problem, but a good part of the meat may have needed to 
be salted (Jones, LRE (1973) 1 628-9). See 4087 83, where upwards of 1000 litrai of 
meat are still in stock for use the following month. 

The basis of the arrangement of the entries in 4088 has not been discovered, 
except that they are grouped into sections effectively headed é& dvvwvap((wv) 706 Seivoc 
(9-10, 11, 61-2, 63, 71-2, 73, 80-81; there is an introductory and a summarizing 
reference for each section). I understand this as identifying the officials who supplied 
warrants (cf. J. R. Rea e¢ al., YCS 28 (1985) 101) enabling the travelling parties to 
use the facilities of the mansiones. All those doing so during Payni were then travelling 
under the authority of one of four (sets of) such officials—there were no more than 
four involved, since the Payni accounts are complete (see 82—4 n.). The further identi- 
fication of one of these sets of officials could be of interest, see 63 n. Why, in rearranging 
the entries under these headings, the scribe abandoned the chronological pattern of 
4087 is not clear. Another difficulty is that 4087 carries no indication of the authorising 
official for each travelling party; the mansio officials must have recorded this informa- 
tion in another form. 

The format, apart from the identification of the travelling group, is routine, so 
that even fragmentarily preserved columns can be restored with confidence. The 
pattern is regular throughout: one day (night?) at Tacona and the next two in 
Oxyrhynchus for parties travelling southwards, the reverse (two in Oxyrhynchus, one 
at Tacona) for parties travelling northwards. The travel days can often be established 
even if only one figure survives (more easily in 4087 with its chronological arrange- 
ment), and it only needs one ration figure to establish the size of the party. The largest 
group we have recorded contained 52 persons (4087 168-170); the number of animals 
(baggage animals? horses?) usually equalled the number of men, but was often very 
slightly more, and could be less—apparently none at all in the case of the 52-person 
group. There were frequently overlaps between the travelling groups: on Choeac 13 
there were at least ninety people staying at the Tacona mansio (4087 168-173, 177-9), 
so that we have a picture of an establishment both large and constantly busy. 

The direction of travel, where ascertainable, seems to have been roughly balanced 
over these periods between travel southwards and northwards although there is a 
noticeable period (4087 col. i), covering most of the first half of Phaophi, when all the 
traffic is northwards. 

The Thebaid is almost invariably given as the departure point for groups travel- 
ling north or as the destination for groups travelling south, presumably because 
Oxyrhynchus was effectively the border point. Destinations are rarely stated for the 
former group (4088 50); only occasionally are departure points given for groups travel- 
ling south (4087 73, 119; 4088 55). The references to Antioch (4088 50, 55) and 
Chalcedon (4087 119) are interesting but insufficient to allow any historical deduc- 
tions. The former will have been the headquarters of the comes Orientis (cf. 4088 63 n.). 


194 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


Tacona was already known as a stage point in the Jtin. Anton., 157.1, where the 
distance to Oxyrhynchus is given (157.2) as 24 Roman miles. It is well documented 
by papyri: see A. Calderini-S. Daris, Diz. geogr. 1V 340-1 and P. Pruneti, J centri 
abitati dell’ Ossirinchite 190-2. For further data see the note below on 4087 2. 

It is perhaps of interest that two separate mansiones appear in the accounts. I 
supposed above that 4088, which is not chronologically arranged, must have been 
adapted from an account like 4087. 4087 must in turn have been collated from separate 
accounts for each mansio. 4087 is then the ‘master copy’ for the nome; Tacona and 
Oxyrhynchus itself were the only stage points in the nome. Caene to the north (Ltin. 
Anton. 156.5) was in the Heracleopolite nome (Diz. geogr. III 48) while Ibiu to the 
south (Jtin. Anton. 157.3) was in the Hermopolite, see M. Drew-Bear, Le nome Hermopolite 
123. For mansiones see P. Koln V p. 255. 

The pattern of damage, especially in 4087, has deprived us of the identity of 
many of the travelling groups. Where they can be identified, the groups are over- 
whelmingly military in character. None is specifically described as acting as a messen- 
ger. The smallest group of which we know the size comprised two persons (4088 64—7). 
The groups travelling in Phaophi-Choeac are mostly a good deal larger than those 
travelling in Payni. Occasionally (4088 41, 50) one can recognize the return north- 
wards of a group that had travelled south earlier; in each case the interval between 
the two sojourns was approximately three weeks. The time spent at the most southerly 
(i.e. furthest) destination will obviously have been much less than this. 

Persons travelling, or their entourages, include a number of tribunes (4087 20?, 
26?, 76, 174, 177 and 186; 4088 33); palatini (4087 70, 73 and 162); a praepositus sacri 
cubiculi (4087 11); a comes, vir clarissimus (4087 119; another in 183); other comites (4087 
14, 89, 93, 109, 113, 116, 168 and 171); a praepositus (4088 24); scutari (4088 28, 37 
and 45; note also 33), and veterans (4088 68). Nowhere is there any indication that 
we should not take the daily rations indicated in each case at their face value, i.e. one 
ration per person per day; thus there is no indication that any of these officials might 
be privileged by the receipt of extra rations. 

In 4088 a kollesis occurs halfway along the lines of col. i on the recto side. The 
strip construction of the left hand kollema is very clear. The edges of the strips give 
the impression of having been treated in some way, smoothed down perhaps. In 4087 
we can establish the order of the four pieces because of the months they cover, but 
equally we can see that there were broad gaps between the pieces; given the added 
factor that the sides of the pieces are mostly badly shredded, close study of kollesis 
positions and attempted fibre comparisons are not worthwhile. 

Both texts are heavily abbreviated, but the forms of the abbreviations in each 
are fairly consistent. In the interests of saving space, I only record the form of an 
abbreviation for the first place where it is preserved, and thereafter only draw attention 
to radically deviant forms. The use or omission of dots or strokes after some words 
and especially after numerals (whether cardinal or ordinal) at any point in the entry 
seems quite arbitrary.

1 ].[.]... étapywv. The years with a consular formula which can end ézdpywy in the first half of the 
fourth century are only 310, 327 and 331. We may discount the possibility of a post-consulate, at this late 
stage of the year. In a post-consular formula in 345 (P. Abinn. 59), éwdpxwy is attributed to the consular 
titulature of 344, erroneously; no example actually from 344 has been found. See R. S. Bagnall and K. A. 
Worp, Chronological Systems of Byzantine Egypt 106 ff. 

The same consular formula recurs at the beginning of the entries for the following month Hathyr, 
line 85, but even less of the formula survives there. 

2 Letters before r#c are troublesome. It may be possible to read voor, i.e. a more precise destination 
than the routine efc On Baida (cf. e.g. 96 and elsewhere) but this does leave very little room for the description 
of the travelling party. It could be possible to read aaé immediately before r7c, but a) preceding that I 
cannot discern the end of required karepyou§, and b) the direction of travel would be wrong, since the 
first stop is made in Tacona: i.e. the direction of travel should be southwards. 

Tacona. For general references see the introd. to 4087-8 above. It lay in the lower toparchy; it has 
not yet been discovered to which pagus it belonged. It may have been located at K6m-el-Ahmar, west of 
the Bahr Yussuf near Muztira and at the edge of the desert. For further discussion see RE IVA 1998; 
S. Timm, Das christlich-koptische Agypten I1 558-60; J. Kriiger, Oxyrhynchos in der Kaiserzeit 302. 

2-3 The first stop, in Tacona, will have fallen on Thoth 30. This might have been expected to feature 
in the previous month’s accounts, but contrast the accounts for Hathyr (85 ff.) which start with two entries 
totally Phaophi, after the summary for that month in 79-83. 

4 A few scanty ink traces survive before axyvp(ov) which it is hard to assign to particular letters. For 
the supply and uses of axupov see B. Verbeeck—G. Wagner, <PE 81 (1990) 281-2. 

6 Taxdva. év wov7y Taxéva is the normal wording when the Tacona mansio is mentioned first, cf. 2 and 
elsewhere. When, as here, Tacona was mentioned after the city, the evidence is less well preserved but 51 
and 184 clearly have Taxéva only while in 87 (and 127 and 142?) we find xai Taxdva. Arbitrarily we 
supplement the latter form, unless other factors indicate otherwise, for example the space in 77. 

10 Avy. For this method of marking the thousands—figure cf. CPR X 107.6, 8 (ap 364), with the 
comment of J. D. Thomas, CR N.S. 38 (1988) 126. Contrast 4088 62. 

11 mpaum(octrov) (cf. app. crit.). The ductus is not quite clear; it looks as if there may have been an 
attempt first to abbreviate the word after mp. For the office see A. H. M. Jones, LRE I esp. 567-70; PLRE I 
1067-8 for list. 


4087. MANSIO ACCOUNTS Brg 


A famous eunuch called Eusebius seems to have held the post of praepositus sacri cubiculi for the whole 
of the reign of Constantius I, 337~361, and was often sent on diplomatic missions by the emperor, see LV 
3820 11—17 n. (p. 224), citing PLRE I 302-3 (11), P. Guyot, Ewnuchen als Sklaven und Freigelassene 199-201. 
We do not know that he ever visited Egypt, but now this passage could suggest that he did, if we could 
accept 344 as the date of 4087, involving an incorrect consular formula, see introd. None of the available 
years for the supposed consular formula in 4087 1 and 85 fits into the terms of office of the prefect Flavius 
Philagrius in 335-7 or 338-40, so that the Eusebius in Egypt in 3820 13 still cannot be associated with 
the reference to the praepositus sacri cubiculi here. 

16 There are a few ink traces on the badly broken surface before Aw which it is difficult to assign to 
particular letters. 

26 rp|.Bovvou suggests itself, but the initial traces (on a fibre straggling out to the left) do not con- 
firm this. 

34 It is unlikely that any more entries followed below this, comparing the dimensions and format of 
the other pieces of the roll. 

38-9 The line end traces are on inv. 119/35, which has the last column of entries for Phaophi. There 
are a few other scattered traces of line ends from this column lower down on inv. 119/35, but they are too 
uncertain to transcribe with the useful exception of the day of the month in 59. 

40 The presence of a short line here is not certain. No trace survives, obviously, but a two-line entry 
would be unusually short. The vertical space is tight for containing the line, but rather deep without it. 

42-3 The number of xazura is not certain, since frequently it exceeds the number of dvy@var; hence 
we are unable to restore the end of 43. 

52 «p[v@a@v expected at the end, but I cannot fit the traces to it. 

69 Probably only one line lost at the foot of the column. 

jo maX]ativov. There is no space for a name to precede; the absence of a name (contrast e.g. 73) 
is surprising. 

79 Avu@ (1749). The annonae of bread recorded in the preceding accounts for Phaophi come to 1281 
(1g entries) plus 7 entries where the annona figure is lost. The average for the 19 entries is 67.4 annonae. If 
we extend this as an average for the 7 incomplete entries, we add 472 annonae to the recorded 1281, giving 
a total of 1753, only 4 more than the papyrus total. This exercise is a reasonable confirmation that we do 
have the accounts for Phaophi complete, despite the fragmentary condition of the papyrus and the break 

o.[. The beginning of the entry for otvov, or a further conversion to artabas, cf. of 1. af) (a4praBax) in 80? 

80 I see no explanation of why the xamura figure for xp.6y should not be divisible by 3. The figure 
given and the modius-conversion back each other up, and the litrai for chaff (= 1724 x 20, line 81) provide 
further confirmation. 

It is tantalizing that the artaba conversion figure for the modii of barley remains uncertain. The 
double strokes however suggest that no units followed cé (260), but a two-figure fraction (cf. 83), thus e.g. 
8” (1/12) or Kd” (1/24) or §d” (1/2+1/4, i.e. 3/4). The remains are very scanty indeed, but 1/24 may be 
the easiest to discern. This would give a modius:artaba ratio of 3.3148: 1, almost the traditional 33 modii 
per artaba. Cf. R. P. Duncan-Jones, PE 21 (1976) 49. 

83 The initial quantity is of meat. The thousands figure is almost entirely abraded. 

85. Cf. rn. 

86 It is not clear why there should be check marks at the end of this line and 88 and go. May they 
be connected with the fact that these are Phaophi entries, that strictly should have been included in the 
section of the accounts that ended in col. iii? For check marks see also 123 n. 

88 Note the abridged form of the ayvp(ov) entry. It looks as if the writer wanted to avoid the entry 
spreading on to a fourth line. Similarly abridged entries recur in 118, 161 and 179, where the full form 
would have meant running on to an extra line, and we restore the abridged form in 185 where again the 
full form would need to run on to an extra line, which the spacing indicates did not exist. Cf. also 188 n. 

100 Further scanty traces of ink survive on loose fibres to the left of the first letters printed as existing.

122 This column (col. iv) contains slightly more lines (38) than elsewhere in this roll (col. i 34(?) lines, 
col. ii 36 lines estimated, col. iii a short column, col. v 35 lines estimated, cols. vi-vii lost, col. vii 33(?) 
lines); the lines are a little more closely packed vertically in this column.

123 Each entry in this column is prefaced by a check mark. This is the only column with its line 
beginnings intact to be so treated, in either 4087 or 4088. Note 86 n. 

127-8 The figure for «dra in 127 is uncertain—it is often slightly more than the dvv@vac figure— 
which precludes completion of 128. The same considerations apply to 130-1, 133-4, 136-7 and 142-3. 

145 It is not clear whether a third line may have followed here for this entry (no trace remains, 
obviously). The space would be very tight. 

148 The line apparently began inset, as happens elsewhere (cf. 108, 112). 

155 Probably just two lines lost from here to the foot of the column. 

162 End of the line very uncertain. Supposed 7 represented only by a faint horizontal. 

163 7 |uép(ac) a. B written by mistake instead of a? 

166 Possibly only a single-figure numeral immediately after Xovd« (thus Xovax]_). 

169 Scanty ink traces on badly shredded and displaced fibres to the left of ] b(7ép) may belong to 
this line. 

176 First surviving traces on loose fibres, and extremely scanty and doubtful. Form of abbreviation 
of ayvp(ov) not clear. 

177 Traces before vov are extremely scanty, on loose and tangled fibres. 

179 Occasional traces in a shredded and tangled area to left of | xpiAav. 

188 Figures possibly of and A[s, but this is very uncertain. In its minimal form, the line would then 
end axvp(ov) Ai(rpar) Avy. Cf. 88 n. There is space at the end of the line for up to c. 12 letters, and the 
minimal form would fit well with this, avoiding a run-on into a short further line. 

Comparison with the dimensions and format of the other fragments suggests that no further entries 
followed at the foot of this column.

1—21 Lines 1~4 record 12 dvy@vac and 12 «dma each day for Payni 14th (Tacona), 15th—-16th 
(Oxyrhynchus). Lines 5—8 also record 12 dvv@vai daily over the same period; the direction of travel is 
uncertain. Lines g—10 must be a short entry parallel to 61-2; 150 litrai of meat are mentioned, which would 
imply a group of roo travelling, but there is no room for an entry of normal type and this must rather 
represent a total of some kind. Lines 12—15 record 12 avv@vai and 12 Kdmura, stopping on Payni 14th; the 
other days and the direction of travel are unknown. Lines 16-19 record a group of uncertain size (but 
probably 12 persons, see the note on 61~2) stopping on Payni 14th in Tacona and Payni 15th—16th in 
Oxyrhynchus. This homogeneity of dates (they recur in 24~—7 as well) is not maintained elsewhere in 4088, 
and must be a coincidence. The final entry in this column, lines 20-21, is continued in col. ii. 

g-10 See 61-2 n. 

11~13 It is not clear if the proposed line 11 really exists. With or without it, it is uncertain how the 
elements of the entry should be arranged to achieve the data in 12~13 at this position at the line ends. 
41—2 cannot be used as a parallel (thus omitting line 11) since a) the sub-total immediately above here in 
9-10 (see notes on 61~—2, 82-4) precludes an entry here of the type roic adroic katepxou(évoic); and b) such 
an entry is also precluded by the dates given here in 12 and for the preceding group in 6, fragmentary 
though they are. Possibly 11 contained an introductory é€ dvywvap(iwv) phrase, of the type found in 63, 
referring forward to all the entries which were then summarized in 61-2; a similar ‘opening and closing’ 
pattern is conjectured for 63 ff., see 63 n. This however does not help us to understand the layout in 12-13. 

21 muep(ac). nwep/ (p cut by the diagonal) was the standard form of abbreviation in 4087 but occurs 
only here in 4088. 

27 Here (after i) and intermittently through this column, areas of rough surface have caused deliber- 
ate spaces to be left, which now have to be distinguished from equally blank seeming but totally ab- 
raded areas. 

33 IIpocdépov. A feminine form [Tpocdopia occurs in LVI 3862 16. Cf. Prosperus in I. Kajanto, The 
Latin Cognomina 273? 

37 On soldiers’ servants see M. P. Speidel, Anc. Soc. 20 (1989) 239-248. 

40 Note the fuller form of the entry for chaff, cf. 60, 84; that was the commoner form in 4087, but 
the shortened version is the usual one here. 

42 Kam(ita) <B>. 12 capita are required by the rations set out in 44, supposedly a continuation from 
here. This discrepancy would throw doubt on the continuity, were it not that the figure of 12 capita has 
already been given for the same group travelling south, see 39. The requirement of 12 capita here is also 
confirmed by the total in 62, see the note thereto, which confirms the continuity from front to back of 
the sheet. 

45 The traces at the line end are little more than scanty dots of ink. There may have been more, 
totally lost, beyond the last indicated traces. At a minimum, davepxyou(évn) efc OnBaida would be expected, 
cf. 24 and 37, but the entries below in this column warn us that the lost wording might be less routine, cf. 
especially 50 for the return journey of the same group. 

47 [xam(ita) 7]. A spot of ink survives, probably from « or a or 7, but I cannot determine which. 

50 avtoic Katepxou(évoic) appears to have been written over washed-out writing. 

51 Note the omission of the month name at the end of the line. Its inclusion would have extended 
the line more than any above. There is ample room in the line below, obviously, but putting the month 
there would have upset the compiler’s preferred pattern of beginning the (usually) third line of each entry 
with (yivovtac) nu(épac) y or Hu(epnciwc). 

52 [xdm(i7ta) 7]. One or two slight marks of ink actually survive, which I cannot attribute to any 
particular letter. 

56 For Flavius Felicissimus see the introd. above to 4087-8. A fairly close terminus post quem for 
Felicissimus’ tenure is provided by that of Flavius Valacius, see PLRE I 929, 1119, with LV 3793 (a printing 
error has allowed the end of his name to drop out in line 4).

220 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


58 nuSav appears to have been stroked through with several close slightly-diagonal lines; but these 
might just possibly all be a smudge. They may, alternatively, be connected with what follows where 
something peculiar has happened; the abraded surface prevents our understanding what has occurred. 

61 dvvwvap(iwv). I have understood these as the officials who supplied warrants to the travelling parties 
for the use of the mansiones, see the introd. above to 4087-8. For the annonarii as quartermasters see A. H. M. 
Jones, LRE (1973) I 626. 

@X(aoviov) Cad[.]. .u[,.. A puzzle. Possibly CeA[ or EdA[? The name presumably appeared in the 
heading for this section in 11. Given his overall responsibility for the travelling plans of 121 people (see 
82-4 n.), and comparing him with Nigrinianus in 63, a senior official should await identification here. I 
have not succeeded in fitting the name of any possible official beginning Sal- or Sel- or Eul- in PLRE I to 
the traces. 

Another possibility might be to read OA[. This instantly suggests Flavius Olympius, praeses of 
Augustamnica in 343 (J. Lallemand, L’admin. civile 257 with P. J. Sijpesteijn and K. A. Worp, Tyche 1 
(1986) 194; add SB XVI 12814). This is well before the dates attested for Flavius Felicissimus as dux (see 
56 and the introd. above to 4087-8), used as a date range for 4088, although there is no recorded praeses 
of Augustamnica in the interval. However, I have been unable to see the rest of Olympius’ name in the 
remaining traces, nor is it clear that the authority of the praeses of Augustamnica might be appropriate. 

61-2 The figures here correctly represent the total rations issued in the entries listed by the papyrus 
back to 11 (g—10 are obviously a similar total for the entries prior to that). This is useful information, and 
confirms the text continuation from front to back of the sheet. There was some doubt about the figure in 
18, but this is confirmed by the arithmetic of the total, which also requires the number of capita to be 12 
per day for that entry (no guide to the latter figure had survived ad loc.). See further the note to 82—4. 

63 e€€ dvvwrap((wv). See the introd. to 4087-8. For the preceding entries of this type cf. the notes above 
on 11~13 and 61-2. Three further examples follow this one in 63, in lines 71 and 73 and 80 of the following 
column. Probably these examples divide into two pairs, 63 and 71~—2 both referring to the entries in 64—70, 
while 73 and 80~—1 refer to the entries in 74-9. Note (yivovrar) at the start of 71 and 80. 

Persons with the title of comes were numerous, as 4087 shows. Here—especially if my understanding 
of é€ advywvap(iwv) is correct, see the introd. to 4087-8 and 61 n. above—the comes appears to have a 
broader authority, and it is legitimate to wonder whether Flavius Nigrinianus may not have been comes 
Onentis. Given the broad date range for 4088 of c. 347—50 (see introd.), there would be no problem in 
fitting him into the list (PLRE I 1082), beyond there being two holders of the office recorded in 349. One 
may further wonder whether he may be the Nigrinianus who was consul in 350 (CLRE pp. 234-5; PLRE I 
631; note the Antioch connection). An earlier comes, Vulcacius Rufinus, had made the same progression 
(comes Orientis 342, cos. 347; PLRE 1 782-3). This identity for Nigrinianus would also suggest a date for 
4088 earlier rather than later in the broad date range of c. 347-50. 

64 Kpncxevtiw. A Flavius Crescentius occurs in 4089 ii of 351, and PSI I go of 364 attests a Flavius 
Crescentius as former praepositus. Crescentius here should be a different person, see 4089 33 n. 

68 Although d[vepxou(évorc) is conjectural, and the veterans may have been more fully described, 
nevertheless the direction of travel must be southwards towards the Thebaid; there would be no room for 
€v 7H mde «TA in 68, and furthermore wherever else év pov Taxdva (69) appears (57, 65, 75) it is always 
as the first Oxyrhynchite mansio, i.e. the direction of travel is southwards. 

69 The line will have been somewhat long if all the regular elements were included. Perhaps an 
abridged format was used here. The same considerations apply to 75. On the other hand, a long line length 
could allow the inclusion of animal rations in 70 and 76. 

70 Space may preclude the inclusion of any animal rations in this entry (but cf. 69 n.). The same 
applies to the next entry, see 74-6 n. 

74 Something more than simply OnBaida (cf. 24, 37) is required to fill the line. 

74-6 Only human rations are recorded in this entry, apparently (? but cf. 69n.). The next entry 
includes animal rations only, see 77 n.; we can only guess whether there might be a connection. 

75 See 69 n. 

77 This annual equine visit is intriguing. The horses might be from a levy, perhaps remounts for a 
cavalry unit. Alternatively some special function may have been involved, perhaps a chariot race; obviously 
the function would not have been at Oxyrhynchus, since the horses only stop there in transit. For a brief 
bibliography on chariot racing see J. C. Shelton, O. Ashm. Shelton p. 80. 77-9 apparently record animal 


4088. MANSIO ACCOUNTS 221 


rations only, implying that these horses travelled without escorts; this can hardly be true. The direction in 
which they were travelling remains unclear, but cf. 74-6 n. 

82-4 These lines represent the total for the whole month (Payni), amalgamating the several sub-total 
e€ dvvwvap(‘wy) entries (9-10, 61-2, 71-2 and 80-1). Unfortunately only one total survives, that for wine, 
but that is significant: in 83 the total number of €(écrax) is given as 709. This figure should divide by three 
to give the total number of persons receiving rations during the month, but so divided it gives us an 
inconvenient 236 1/3. (Cf. the total of 583 people in the much busier Phaophi recorded by 4087.) 

We do not know how much is lost for Payni before col. i. How close to the stated total will the rations 
recorded by the papyrus come? The sub-total in 61—2 (see n.) recorded 363 day-rations, representing 121 
persons. The fragmentary parallel entry in g~10 is sufficient to attest a further 100 persons. To the combined 
221 we have to add the persons figuring in 63~76 (77-9 recording only horses, irrelevant for this purpose). 
If 63-7 record the two named persons only, and if the damaged figure in 70 is rightly restored (rather 
than read!) as ¢y (it should be divisible by three, and iB and te are much less likely) to give 6 veterans, 
these plus the 6 64(txudAror) in 74-6 (we have a clear ration figure in 76) plus the aforesaid 221 = 235; 
multiplied by three to give the day rations, we get 705= ye. Is the 6 of ¥@ in 83 a copyist’s error? 

The layout requires the bread total in 82, wine, meat and barley totals in 83 and the chaff total in 
84. This is an uneven distribution (unimportant for 84, the last line). 82 may have been taken up with 
conversions, cf. 4087 79. Note though that there (line 80) the barley total is also followed by conversions.

4089. FINANCIAL REPORT TO THE STRATEGUS 
119/83(b) 32.8 x 24.6 cm October/November 351 


This large and mostly well preserved sheet supplies two columns of a report to 
the strategus of the Oxyrhynchite nome by a local councillor who holds some post 
relating to the military camp at Psobthis in that nome (see 4 n.). The report proceeds 
to tabulate receipts of wheat and barley for the months of Thoth and Phaophi, begin- 
ning in each case with a statement of arrears of stock held from Mesore, and may be 
presumed to have been drawn up in Hathyr, i.e. October-November. There are 
sufficient traces at the extreme right edge to indicate that another column followed. 
Since the totals at the foot of col. 1 (cirov) and 11 (xpiO%c) only record the new sum of 
arrears plus receipts of the relevant commodity, the expected statement of deliveries 
(7apaddcewc, 6) must have come at the end of the accounts. 

The name of the strategus (2) is of special interest. This is Flavius Paeanius (alias 
Macrobius), who had been curator cwvitatis of Oxyrhynchus in 336: see P. Oxy. LIV 
pp. 227-8. 4091 below further attests Paeanius as strategus in 352. This new dated 
evidence for him in this appointment allows a reassessment of his career; the repercus- 
sions for our understanding of fourth century administration should be considered 
along with 4086 of 345 above, which supplies similarly unexpected data for the former 
curator civitatis (329-31) Flavius Julianus. In particular, we should redate XXII 2344 
to c. 351-2 in place of the edition’s c. 336 (with consequent effects for the study of 
the early Church, since a Christian bishop features in 2344), and transfer the entry 
for 2344 in the survey of Paeanius’ career in P. Oxy. LIV pp. 227-8 from under the 


222 DOCUMENTS OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS 


heading ‘Earlier career’ to a new heading ‘Later career’. Much of the discussion about 
2344 on P. Oxy. LIV p. 227 is now rendered obsolete; we know now that Paeanius 
was strategus after being curator, and was entitled to the name Flavius because of that 
earlier appointment. 

The receipts for each commodity are divided principally under the headings 
modra@v (12, 31) and kwunre@v (17, 44; for this distinction see P. Cair. Isid. g introd., 
pp. 76-7, and cf. also P. Cair. Isid. 11). Entries under the former consist of individual 
names with amounts ranging from 2 to 195 artabas (33 records 140 artabas, but this 
looks exceptional and official in character). Entries under kwpyrav are given en bloc, 
with numbered pagus and village name and then 6.4 followed by a personal name 
for the paying (collecting?) agent. In two cases (21-2) these are soldiers. Amounts 
range from less than an artaba up to 24 artabas; several of the amounts are less than 
some of the individual contributions under the 7oAit@v heading. Following these sec- 
tions there is a small further entry of receipts for each commodity under the heading 
tau( ) (24, 53), presumably receipts from confiscated land now administered by the 
fiscus. The arithmetic is correct throughout. 

The and, 3rd, 6th, 7th and 8th pagi are represented. Additions to our knowledge 
of the pagus locations of certain villages form the most useful topographical data in 
thestext: 

Check marks have been placed against all the individual zoA:t@v-category contri- 
butions, but not against any in the cwunra@v-category nor against any of the totals. 
It is clear that these are check marks and not numeral markers (they are different 
from the numeral markers in 19, 22, 25 and 53); also the pen is slightly different (less 
crisp), and they may be by a different hand. 

At the left edge of the papyrus are remains of a sheet join with a vertical layer 
of fibres showing, probably to be explained as from the upper sheet of a protocollon 
(E. G. Turner, Recto and Verso (Pap. Brux. 16) 20-22, 29); the ink of some of the line 
beginnings overruns on to these vertical fibres. There is a manufacturer’s (i.e. 3 layer, 
see P. Harr. II 212 introd.) sheet join midway in col. ii. The back is blank.

1 For the consuls (those of 350) see R. S. Bagnall et al., Consuls of the Later Roman Empire pp. 234-7. 

4 That Aurelius Colobus’ position was as émeAnryc is a guess, but is suggested by X 1252 17 and 
24-5 where émyueAnral of a dpovpiov are attested; the éseAnrai there are BovAevrai of Oxyrhynchus, as is 
Colobus (for the qualifications for the office see N. Lewis, Compulsory Public Services (Pap. Flor. X1) 27). 
émeAnrod in full would be far too long, and if correct must have been abbreviated, perhaps emmpeN’ 

Kactpav PobBbewc. See CPR V 13.3 n., LV 3793 gn. The placing of this camp, still uncertain when 
CPR V 13 was published, in the Oxyrhynchite nome is useful information. For the various Oxyrhynchite 
localities called Psobthis see P. Pruneti, / centri abitati dell’ Ossirinchite 223-6. 

4-6 For the opening formula émnrobvri cou ... mapaddcewe cf. P. Cair. Isid. 13.5-6 (AD 314). 

8 eupéda. Cf. LIV 3758 65 n. and LIX 3981 1 n. In 3758 this honorific term is used for the logistes. 
Its use here for the strategus is unusual, but Paeanius had been logistes (curator cwitatis) earlier, see introd. 
Cf. 4091 6 n. 

11 dv. Most of the examples of this (here and 13, 18, 30, 32, 45, 48) fit awkwardly into the line 
spacing (with the exception of 18) and may possibly have been added in, though they are clearly by the 
same hand. 

19 ff. For the villages named in the papyrus see P. Pruneti, op. cit. 160 (CaddAov, 1g and 46); 186 
(Gipwv, 20 and 50); 73 (“Icrpov, 21 and 51); 203-4 (Tnewc, 22); 131-3 (Ilaxépxn, 24 and 53); 168-9 
(Cevorrw@bewc, 24 and 53), and 47-8 (Emucnpov, 49). Several of the pagus-placings are new information: 
Istru in the 7th pagus, Pacerce and Senopothis in the 6th, and Episemu in the 3rd. For the pagus-placings 
of Oxyrhynchite villages see P. Pruneti, Aeg. 69 (1989) 113-8. 

33, amo nyepwovdy recurs in P. Landlisten G, line 310; the named person, Anysius, is taken in PLRE I 
79 to be a former praeses of the Thebaid. Another example is Nemesianus, a7r6 7yyepovewwy (—elwv? —evav?), 
in SB I 1005 (for a revised text see J. Baillet, Inscr. grecques et latunes (Mém. de ’I.F-A.O. du Caire 42 (1926)), 
no. 1293, and for the revised date see P. J. Sijpesteijn—K. A. Worp, <PE 26 (1977) 270-1). He is accepted 
in PLRE I 621 as a praeses, of an unknown province. On this premise our Macrobius too would be a former 
praeses (of Augustamnica?). I do not think this can be right. There would be no difficulty in fitting him 
into the lists, see J. Lallemand, L’administration cwile 251, 256-7 with the additions recorded by 
P. J. Sijpesteryn and K. A. Worp, Tyche 1 (1986) 193-4. Nevertheless the description for Macrobius is azo 
jyewovi@v (should we read wyenoviwy?), not ryeuzdvwr. He features here in circumstances that seem far too 
humble for a former praeses, and note that he is not dignified with the name Flavius as is his associate 
Crescentius. It may be more prudent to regard Macrobius as former holder of some post in the praeses’ office. 

Flavius Crescentius: PSI I go of 364 attests a Flavius Crescentius as former praepositus, and a Crescentius 
features in the mansio accounts 4088 64 of c. 347-350. The former may be the same person as here; the 
latter ought not to be, since the accounts record him as only in transit through the nome. 

34 The name Tepaxotc appears not to have been attested previously. 

42 Theodorus, assessor, has not been recorded before in The Oxyrhynchus Papyri.

4090. PETITION TO THE RIPARIT 
83/34(a) 14.5 X 20 cm 12 April 352 


A property owner from an Oxyrhynchite village complains that when he wanted 
to rebuild on some sites he owned, he was prevented by some other villagers from 
completing the work. 


4090. PETITION TO THE RIPARII 227 


Of the two riparu—both new names in this office—one, Flavius Gerontius, is 
unfamiliar: see further 4 n. The other is interesting: Flavius Julianus will be the former 
curator who went on to become syndic and then acting syndic; his known career is 
outlined in P. Oxy. LIV pp. 225—6. His continued activity at this much later date 
strengthens the likelihood of it being he who held a post (Bevequxrdproc?) in the office 
of the praeses of Augustamnica in 360 (PSI V 467). CPR V 12.1 n. suggests associating 
the offices of Bevepixrapioc tagewe Wyeuoviac and stationarius in the same person, and 
cf. XLIX 3480 1 n. Both ripartus and stationarius had police responsibilities for the 
whole nome, allowing Julianus’ later career stages to show a consistency of function. 
He would have been in his sixties, if not more, by 360. 

The back is blank. There is one kollesis, not quite halfway along the lines. There 
is a quantity of loose débris from this text, some bits with ink traces.

4 For Flavius Julianus see introd. Flavius Gerontius was obviously a person of some standing (as his 
being riparius implies anyway), who had held an important government post or had been in the army: see 
J. G. Keenan, ZPE 11 (1973) 33-63 and 13 (1974) 283-304. I have nevertheless not certainly identified 


him with any other Gerontius. He cannot be identical with the former curator Val. Ammonianus al. 
Gerontius, who was dead by 334: see P. Oxy. LIV p. 224.

4091. ReporT TO THE STRATEGUS 
119/22(a) + 39(b) 13.5X 19cm 352 


A particular point of interest in this text is its added confirmation of the tenure 
of Paeanius as strategus, cf. 4089. The papyrus has suffered from abrasion and loss 
on the left (the sheet has been reassembled from dispersed fragments, as the inventory 
numbers indicate) and the damage prevents our full understanding of the circum- 
stances of the report. An uncertainly identified official of the 1st pagus and a govern- 
ment surveyor jointly report about the transfer of some land, consequent on a petition 
from an Oxyrhynchite councillor (known from XVII 2110) and in accordance with 
the instructions of Flavius Areianus Alypius, known as praeses of Augustamnica in the 
previous year from CPR V 12. The circumstances in XLVI 3288 are somewhat similar. 
Various parcels of land are mentioned in 15 ff., several of them overgrown with reeds, 


but the loss of the line beginnings here makes it difficult to reconstruct the sense. 
The back is blank.

‘In the consulship of our masters Constantius Augustus for the 5th time and 
Constantius the most noble Caesar for the rst time. 

“To Flavius Paeanius, strategus of the Oxyrhynchite, from Aurelii ... theus son 
of Eusebius, secretary(?) of the 1st pagus, and ... son of ... os, public surveyor of the 
same city. We were sent orders by Your Grace, consequent on a petition presented to 
you by Aurelius Theon son of Ammonius, councillor of the same city, in accordance 
with the instructions of Flavius Areianus Alyplus, praeses, vir perfectissimus, to make the 
transfer of his ... land in the territory of the village of Mermertha near Keuothis.

4 |Ocov. Tyro]Oéov or Awpo]Géov is most likely. Either way, this person has not been attested in The 
Oxyrhynchus Papyri. 

The office he held is more puzzling. [yp]aypatéwc, while it might fit the traces, is no more than a 
guess; but the —ewc termination is certain and I have failed to find any official title attested at pagus level 
that will fit. 

6 For the use of the honorific epithet éupéAeca cf. CPR V 12.5 n. Paeanius’ former tenure as logistes 
(curator civitatis), see 4089 introd., perhaps entitles him to the epithet rather than does his current post of 
strategus. Cf. 4089 8 n. 

7 Aurelius Theon son of Ammonius, councillor, is likely to be the same person as his councillor 
homonym in XVII 2110 3 of 370, where he is represented by his son Macrobius. 

g Flavius Areianus Alypius was first attested as praeses of Augustamnica by CPR V 12 (5 July 351); 
see P. J. Sijpesteijin and K. A. Worp, Tyche 1 (1986) 194. The present text, only broadly dated to the 
consular year 352, now supplies our latest date for him in this office. 

11 [Mepu]épwv. This village was in the upper toparchy, see P. Pruneti, / centri abitati dell’ Ossirinchite 
103. Its location in the 1st pagus (which might have been deduced from 4 here) has since been established, 
see P. Pruneti, deg. 69 (1989) 116. 

For Kev@@ic see P. Pruneti, / centri abitati dell’ Ossirinchite 84. Keuothis too probably belonged to the 
Ist pagus. The village does not feature in the list of pagi and villages by Pruneti just referred to, Aeg. 69 
(1989) 116-8. 

13 KodiBidvoc. A Thracian name, evidently that of a Ptolemaic cleruch and subsequently that of the 
«Afjpoc which he had held. Cf. T. Corsten, Die Inschriften von Prusa ad Olympum I (1991) pp. 49-59. 

14 Covcdvvac. Among the Oxyrhynchus Papyri the name recurs in XVIII 2197 34 (sixth century) and 
XX XI 2599 22-3 (third—fourth century). For the implications of the name see the introd. to the latter text.

4092. LEASE oF LAND 
50 4B.24/J(1-3)a 12.3 X 14.1 cm 1 October 355 


The upper portion, more or less intact, of a lease of land, which supplies a number 
of interesting details. The consular pair (1-2), although well enough known, had not 
been evidenced in papyri at the time of publication of R. S. Bagnall and K. A. Worp, 
Chronological Systems of Byzantine Egypt or R. S. Bagnall et al., Consuls of the Later 
Roman Empire. 

One of the lessors is Flavius Julianus, ex-curator of the Oxyrhynchite nome, for 
whom see P. Oxy. LIV pp. 225-6. Two further stages in his long career are now 
attested by 4086 (strategus in 345) and 4090 (riparius in 352). 4092 is the latest evidence 
for Julianus alive to be published, and usefully confirms that this is indeed the ex- 
curator; it must make much more likely the hypothesis that it may be the same Flavius 
Julianus in PSI V 467, holding a post in the office of the praeses of Augustamnica in 
360, see P. Oxy. LIV p. 226. Note the retention of the status-designation Flavius, 
although Julianus has no stated official position here. The description of Julianus as 
amo Aoyict@v, ex-curator, confirms the post of curator as the most significant he had 
held, despite his more recent appointments as syndic, strategus and riparius. The 
motivation for undertaking these other appointments remains to be understood, but 
it is not clear that they are to be considered as ‘lesser’ positions. Julianus’ sister Sarapias

(4) was not previously known. Mention of their father Dioscurides is useful; this is the 
former two-times curator Valerius Dioscurides alias Julianus, see P. Oxy. LIV 
pp. 223-5, and the information confirms the guess in LIV 3755 27-8 n. that the curator 
Flavius Julianus was his son. Finally regarding this family, information about their 
landholdings in the nome is new, although hardly surprising. 

A prominent manufacturer’s (three layer) kollesis is visible on the front, in line 3 
coming between ®Aaoviw and TovAvava. The vertical fibres have been stripped from 
under the upper layer for 2cm. The area where the papyrus actually attains four 
layers of thickness is no wider than 1 cm.

7 For the name Patereus cf. XIX 2232 4 (genitive Tlatepéwc) and 18 (nominative ITarepyouc), and 
see the note there. (This is not the same person.) Another Oxyrhynchite of this name appears in PSI X 
1106-7. 

8 For the village of Isiu Panga see P. Pruneti, / centri abitati dell? Ossirinchite 71-2. Its pagus location 
is new information.
